Schoenorchis micrantha grows in the wild on the islands Vanuatu, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, Samoa, Fiji, the Solomon islands and in Northern Australia, Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam and Malaysia. The orchid is found at altitudes between 50 and 1.500 meters on tree branches in humid forests, mostly around rivers and flowing water. Schoenorchis micrantha has white fragrant flowers of around 2 centimetre, with thirty at a time growing from the flower stems. These grow in between the flower strands, have a green colour with a white haze en reach around 10 centimetre.

Schoenorchis micrantha can be cultivated in artificial light, but make sure your terrarium lamp is at least 10 centimetre from the plant. If you don't use artificial light, place the orchid in a light spot, out of direct sunlight. The humidity should be quite high, around 80%. The ideal temperature for Schoenorchis micrantha is around 25⁰C. It is best not to let the temperature drop below 15⁰C or rise above 30⁰C. Water the plant with rainwater or distilled water using a spray if you have attached it to a surface. Water it whenever the substrate or roots have dried slightly. In practice this will be three to five times a week. This, combined with a proper humidity will help prevent infections and disease. If you prefer to keep Schoenorchis micrantha in a pot, orchid-mix will make a suitable substrate. It would be better to attach this orchid to a piece of bark or wood.
