Podochilus muricata

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I grow this plant primarily for the foliage. The hairy flowers are small (approximately 1/4"). That's why I intentionally had one of the pics show part of the foliage.

I have a podochilus cultratus that I grow mounted. The flowers are very small, but a pristine white. I love it, but find it hard to find info. on it. Do you have any idea?

There was virtually not a whole lot of anything useful on the internet to go on. I had to figure it out all on my own!

They're actually pretty easy to grow if you:

1. Grow them mounted.

2. Have high humidity.

3. Have moderate indirect bright light.

4. Intermediate to warm temperatures.

I grow them strictly in a terrarium.

Growing any Podochilus spp. outside of a terrarium setting was an absolute disaster.

Request noted. I'll get a better shot of the entire plant later. My camera batteries just went out. Gotta recharge it.

Here is the photo of most of the plant.

The plant artificially looks like a fern with succulent leaves that has a semi-glossy sheen to them.
