Locally called the Lemon Yellow Renanthera
Plants are found growing on mossy trees in the coniferous forest of Vietnam and China.
Plant blooms in the spring with a long branching spike with several flowers (there are 16 flowers in my spike).
I have this on S/H on a drilled glass vase ever since I got this as a 7 inches potted plant 2 years ago. It is now 18 inches with a 9 inches spike. Very slow to grow but gave me new long fat robust roots now getting used to be under the water level and have welded itself in the clay pellets that it is hard to detach them when I flush the glass.
In the summer months of its active growth; this is outdoors in direct sun and I fill the glass every other week but spray water on the surface of the media and the whole plant twice a day especially if it’s very hot outside….in winter when it is indoors on a south facing window, I still continue to mist the surface because there are aerial roots. I flush it once a month for debris and plant wastes. I feed it with K-lite fertilizer and seaweed mix.
I waited so long for this orchid plant to bloom for me even if the flowers have no scent. I am hoping to get more flowers on the next blooming cycle.

Love the flower color, the spots. Nicely grown!

Good growing.
It is a slow growing plant but the young plants is able to bloom when it is only 5 cm tall.
