    Default Rhynchostylis retusa

    It bloomed weeks ago. We call it 'Fox tail'. A strong one may has more than three such tails.

    Impressive. There must be 80 - 100 blooms on that orchid spike. Would love to see one with three 'tails'.

    cheers,

    Wonderful bloom! Congratulations!
    I see your retusa is in a clay pot. Which media do you use?

    Thanks for viewing!
    Hi Nataliwind, I use foamed plastic block and moss to grow it. It needs more water than most of other orchids.
