Chiloschista nakornpanomensis 'Asian Ghost Orchid'
ID: #693231
Description
Chiloschista nakornpanomensis is a stunning and relatively rare species of orchid that hails from the Southeast Asian region, particularly Thailand and Laos. This epiphytic orchid is known for its unique and graceful appearance, with delicate, small flowers and a distinct growth habit that makes it a sought-after addition to any orchid collection. The plant features long, thin, and slightly pendulous stems that are often covered with small, scale-like leaves. These leaves are typically very reduced or absent in mature plants, giving it a somewhat leafless or minimalist look, which is a characteristic trait of many species within the Chiloschista genus. The stems are usually covered with a fine, hair-like structure that helps the plant retain moisture and adapt to its humid, tropical environment. The flowers of Chiloschista nakornpanomensis are small, delicate, and usually appear in clusters along the stems. They are typically pale yellow or cream-colored, with hints of orange or brown markings on the lip, giving them an attractive contrast. The flowers have a subtle, sweet fragrance, adding to the plant’s charm and making it a prized species for collectors who appreciate the finer details of orchid flowers. Its blooms are often produced in the warmer months, adding an elegant touch to any space when in full bloom. As an epiphyte, Chiloschista nakornpanomensis thrives in environments that replicate its natural habitat—bright, indirect light, high humidity, and warm temperatures. It grows best when mounted on wood or placed in well-draining orchid mixes, allowing air to circulate around its roots. Regular watering is essential to keep the plant hydrated, but it is important to ensure the plant does not sit in water for prolonged periods, as it is susceptible to root rot. Chiloschista nakornpanomensis does well in temperatures ranging from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C), with high humidity levels of 60% or higher.

Kiwi Bark
$4.00
Kiwi bark's chunky texture makes for an excellent soil amendment! Kiwi bark has a slower decomposition rate and is less likely to rot compared to other wood. Because of this, large pieces such as these can help increase drainage and make soil not compact as much over time. It can also be used as a potting medium on it's own for some epiphytic species such as most orchids! 2 quart bag can roughly fill one and a half 6" diameter nursery pots. 1 quart bag can roughly fill one and a half 4" diameter nursery pots. All soil amendments ship in a biodegradable bag

Perlite is the most commonly used additive for increasing soil drainage. It is volcanic glass that forms when glass literally pops like popcorn under super-heated temperatures.

$12.00
Philodendron hederaceum is known for its versatility and durability in a variety of different spaces. With the proper care, it can be a fast growing during the spring and summer making it perfect for hanging baskets! The baskets are especially cute due to the heart shaped foliage. Care: We recommend weekly waterings typically as the soil is 1"-2" dry for this size. This will also do best in a bright filtered light. Although this is sold often as a low light plant, our definition of low light is what the plant needs to survive. A source of natural light somewhere in the room will keep this plant sustained and thriving. Usually we say if you can read a book in the room without the light on during the day it's usually enough light for this one. All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U.S. nurseries. We strongly condemn the poaching of plants or wild collection.
