Water – moist

This gorgeous orchid is one of the the many orchids within the Xylobium species. Andy’s Orchid has a Xylobium lentiglossum for sale on his site, but does not have photos of it. I love orchids as they are very pretty. In order to avoid rot, limit water on leaves.

Nice job coming up with an “X” plant. And a beautiful one at that.
