Anoectochilus formosanus 'Milkyway'
Product information "Anoectochilus formosanus 'Milkyway'"
Silver veins stand out on dark leaves with a strong
reddish colour on the underside - this is Anoectochilus formosanus 'Milky Way'
( Hayata 1914). It stands out among the jewel orchids with its beautiful
flowers! This ground orchid is more than just a piece of jewellery - it is a
traditional medicinal plant used in Asian medicine. It feels at home at room
temperature, but also thrives in a cooler bedroom, for example. Its optimum
temperature is 16 to 19 degrees centigrade. Avoid direct sunlight by shading if
necessary. It originates from the shady, evergreen forests of Formosa - hence
its name. Use rainwater for watering if possible. Please use fertiliser
sparingly as this jewel orchid does not grow quickly. The Sphagnum moss used as
a substrate should always be moist, but never wet. The pictures shown are
examples, the plant you purchase is similar to the pictures. You purchase a younger plant.
