Pomatocalpa spicata – Blooming Size
Quantity: 1 Plant
Presentation: Blooming Size on a plastic pad (as shown in photos)
Pomatocalpa spicata is a beautiful epiphytic orchid valued for its elegant growth habit and cascading clusters of small yellow flowers. When in bloom, the flowers appear along slender, arching spikes, creating a soft, natural display rather than dense or overly crowded inflorescences.
This species produces thick aerial roots and leathery, strap-shaped leaves, making it well suited for mounted culture. Plants are mounted together on a plastic pad to support healthy root development and natural growth, similar to how they grow in habitat.
Blooming typically occurs once the plant is well established, with flowers lasting several weeks under proper conditions.
