Orchid Cleisostoma arietinum

Cleisostoma arietinum is a rare, small epiphyte orchid native to Southeast Asia, notable for its cascading stems bearing succulent, cylindrical leaves and tiny, star-shaped, fragrant flowers with white to pink petals and amethyst lips. To flourish, it demands high humidity levels (60-80%) and bright, indirect light accompanied by frequent, light watering, thereby rendering it an excellent choice for mounted displays or hanging baskets.
