Bamboo Orchids, Arundina Gramnifolia




Bamboo Orchid, Arundina Gramnifolia, is a full tropical terrestrial sun loving plant. The stems can grow to 1.5 meters. Its flowers are at the very top which blooms one flower at a time. This orchid is a tropical Asiatic plant but become "invasive" and naturalized to other tropical countries outside Asia. It blooms all year round!
In my garden, I plant them in a high humus moist retention potting medium. Because I have to expose it to full sun (with some shade during noon time), the soil must be always moist.
If you have just bought one, treat it with TLC and it will surprise you one flower at a time!
