Coconut Fragrant, Blooming size, Red Flowers, Species Orchid - Live Plant
This attractive species, known as the Coconut Orchid, is celebrated for its intense coconut cream pie fragrance, often compared to Coppertone sunscreen lotion. Native to Mexico, Nicaragua, and possibly Costa Rica, it features 1-inch egg-shaped, flattened bulbs closely spaced on an ascending rhizome, each supporting a single 14-inch, grass-like leaf. Short basal spikes emerge from the rhizome, producing a single 2-inch flower. For optimal growth and flowering, provide medium to bright light and keep the roots moist. Over time, it becomes a large, beautiful plant with multiple growths and flowers.
