Here's an offer you won't see very often. Calanthe's are one of the easiest of all orchids to grow as long as you follow the rules. The deciduous hybrids and cultivars of Calanthe are adapted to the monsoon climate of Southeast Asia, which is characterized by summer rains and winter drought.
Leaves sprout at the beginning of the rainy season, when water is plentiful.
Then, before the dry season, the leaves begin to turn yellow, wither and fall off to conserve water during the winter. During the active summer growth period, the plants need abundant light, water and fertilizer. Diffused light, but grow them bright. Hang them in a tree, grow them on the deck, wherever it works. Get them going now, and next winter, you should have beautiful sprays of long lasting flowers.
