phalaenopsis cornu-cervi

Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is a botanical orchid species originating from Southeast Asia. It is a small to medium-sized epiphytic plant that thrives in warm conditions with medium to bright, filtered light.

This species is well known for its characteristic antler-shaped (“cornu-cervi”) flower spikes, which can produce flowers successively over a long period. The blooms are typically yellow to greenish with red or brown markings, often glossy and long-lasting.

It is cultivated in a pot using a well-draining substrate such as fine to medium bark, ensuring good aeration of the roots.

To care for Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi, it is important to keep the substrate lightly moist, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Regular fertilization during the growing season helps support continuous flowering.

Warm temperatures, good humidity and gentle air circulation are essential for healthy growth. A unique and rewarding species, ideal for growers who appreciate sequential blooming orchids.
