Aerides crassifolia

Aerides crassifolia is a beautiful botanical orchid species native to Southeast Asia, admired for its spectacular pendent flower spikes carrying numerous fragrant flowers in shades of white, pink, and deep rose-purple. These are particularly large and well-developed plants for the species, creating an impressive display even when not in bloom. They are cultivated hanging and completely bare-root, providing excellent root aeration and closely replicating their natural epiphytic growing conditions. Aerides crassifolia thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures with bright, filtered light, good humidity, and excellent air circulation. Water the exposed roots regularly and thoroughly, allowing them to dry between waterings; during warm periods, more frequent watering may be necessary. With proper care, these impressive plants will reward you with abundant, intensely fragrant flower spikes, making them an exceptional addition to any Vandaceous orchid collection.
