Panisea cavaleriei is a rare and intriguing orchid native to southern China, including regions like Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Hainan.
Features:
Growth Habit: This orchid is characterized by prostrate pseudobulbs that are narrowly oblong or ovate-oblong, measuring approximately 1–2 cm in length and 7–8 mm in width. The upper part of the pseudobulb curves upward and supports a single leaf at its apex.
Leaves: The plant has narrow, lanceolate leaves that are typically 1–2 cm long, contributing to its compact and creeping growth form.
Care Tips:
Temperature: Prefers cool to intermediate conditions.
Light: Requires bright, diffused light; direct sunlight may scorch its leaves.
Watering: Should be kept drier during the winter months to mimic its natural dormant period.
Humidity: High humidity is beneficial, as it mirrors the plant's native humid environments.
Mounting: Due to its epiphytic nature, it is best grown mounted on bark or in well-draining orchid mix.
