Oeceoclades maculata (bronze form - aka: O. monophylla)




Acquired some very small seedlings a couple years ago. Grown within a terrarium. Potted in bark, temperatures warm, RH averaging around upper 70% range, bright artificial lighting, good air circulation, watered & fertilized on a consistent schedule - allowing to dry out somewhat between watering.

They have remained small-sized *with my growing conditions*. Took about a year to get established and produce new active growth. Has also been a fairly slow grower. My camera is not able to capture the true color of the flower (which has a pronounced pink hue). Flower is not very exciting, but I really like the foliage of this plant.
