Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An easy orchid to grow and a rewarding one, the flower stalks reaching as high as 6' tall topped with red-orange flowers. Long leathery leaves, to 6", are evergreen and adorn stems to 4' tall or so. Fairly soil tolerant but orchid potting mixes are best, with lots of bark. In summer provide high humidity and bright, filtered or dappled light; full light but less water in winter. Frost hardy only above freezing, mid USDA zone 10, so best brought inside in the fall to enjoy through winter.
