Trichosalpinx dura

This pretty Trichosalpinx impresses above all with its strong yellow, 1 cm large flowers, which appear in summer and winter with good care. As it grows in the wild as an epiphyte at very different altitudes, it also tolerates a certain range of cool to warm temperatures in the terrarium. It generally feels most at home in the mounted form.

Ben's tips on plant care:

- Location/light requirements: semi-shaded to shaded
- Substrate: tied to Xaxim or in well-drained orchid substrate with good drainage
- Temperature: optimal at 19-24° C (day), 14-18° C (night)
- Watering: Spray regularly when mounted, but allow leaves to dry out well. Otherwise only water moderately when the substrate is thoroughly dry. Only use lukewarm water with a low lime content. Avoid waterlogging at all costs.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: in the winter months, fertilize only very moderately every 4 weeks with diluted orchid fertilizer.
- Ensure even watering, as the plant does not tolerate waterlogging or complete drying out
