Eria tomentosa
Orchids
Description
Eria tomentosa is an epiphytic orchid species found in Southeast Asia. It is known for its dense, hairy (tomentose) leaves and stems, which give the plant a soft appearance. The flowers are typically small, yellow, and fragrant, produced in clusters along the stems. This orchid thrives in warm, humid conditions, often growing on trees. It requires bright, indirect light and well-draining orchid mix. For cultivation, provide regular watering and good air circulation. Eria tomentosa can be propagated by division or from keikis (plantlets) that sometimes form on the stems.
