Orchid Chiloschista lunifera 1 plant orchid plant collection leafless orchid
Chiloschista lunifera is a fascinating and unique orchid species, often referred to as a leafless orchid due to its unusual adaptation: it lacks traditional leaves and performs photosynthesis through its roots. Here's a comprehensive look at this species:
Cultivation & Care
Light Bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sun to prevent root burn.
Temperature Warm to intermediate (20-30°C day / 13-18°C night).
Humidity 75-85% during growing season; slightly lower (60-70%) in dormancy.
Watering Water regularly when actively growing. Allow roots to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce in dormancy.
Fertilizer Diluted orchid fertilizer (1/8 strength) once a week during growth. None in dormancy.
Mounting Best mounted on cork, wood, or tree fern without moss to keep roots exposed to light.
