Dimorphorchis rossii
Introducing the Dimorphorchis rossii - an extraordinary and exceedingly rare orchid species hailing from the lush rainforests of Borneo!
Known for its captivating attributes and slow-growing nature, this vandaceous wonder is sure to capture the hearts of orchid enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Dimorphorchis rossii boasts a truly fascinating feature - it blooms with not one but two distinct types of flowers on a single spike!
What makes it even more intriguing is that both flower types are "complete," meaning each flower contains both male and female reproductive structures. Witness the mesmerizing transformation from pure yellow basal flowers to elegantly spotted blooms as they grace the length of the spike.
To ensure successful cultivation, we recommend two tried-and-tested approaches. Firstly, the Dimorphorchis rossii thrives best when grown in warm temperatures. Whether you opt for a greenhouse environment or a dedicated warm spot indoors, maintaining a consistent temperature range will keep this prized orchid content.
Secondly, choose a suitable growing medium that retains water effectively. Many have achieved flourishing results with either a well-draining bark mix or coconut husk, both curated to provide the ideal balance of moisture retention and aeration.
As you embark on the journey of nurturing this extraordinary species, remember that the Dimorphorchis rossii thrives with a consistent but gentle care routine. Provide it with ample indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that may scorch its delicate foliage. A regular watering schedule should be established, ensuring the potting medium never dries out completely but remains damp, not soggy.
This is a near blooming size in a 4" pot, well-established root system and a leaf span of 12” and 12” Tall from the bottom of the pot. Grown from seed, limited!
