Diaphananthe fragrantissima is a rare orchid native to Southeast Asia, prized for its fragrant, delicate flowers. It thrives in warm, humid conditions and requires bright, indirect light to prevent leaf burn from direct sunlight. Watering should be consistent, ensuring the growing medium remains moist but not waterlogged, with good drainage to avoid root rot. The ideal temperature range for this orchid is between 20°C and 28°C (68°F and 82°F) during the day, with cooler temperatures at night. High humidity levels of 60%-80% are necessary, which can be maintained through misting or a humidity tray. During the growing season (spring and summer), use a diluted orchid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks, and reduce feeding in the winter when the plant rests. Good air circulation is crucial to prevent fungal and bacterial issues. Diaphananthe fragrantissima should be repotted every 1-2 years with a well-draining mix like bark or moss. The orchid blooms in spring or summer, producing waxy, fragrant flowers. Regular inspection for pests like aphids and mealybugs is also important to keep the plant healthy.The care symbols below will give additional indications for this botanical orchid.
