Peristeria elata

NOT IN BLOOM

The photo of the flower is indicative

• The plants are newly imported and may have some leaf damage, but nothing serious (however the plant may lose its leaves in winter naturally).
• In the flowering or growing season more water is required at the roots. When large. the pseudobulbs can be as big as a softball! This species is deciduous by nature, so older bulbs will shed their leaves as new growths emerge from the base of the plant.
