Description
Isabelia pulchella is a fascinating miniature orchid species, easily recognized by its unique appearance and distinctive flowers. It features slender, cane-like pseudobulbs covered in thin, white sheaths. The flowers are relatively large compared to the plant's size, often presenting colors like white, yellow, or pink. The flowers often have fringed petals and sepals. This species requires cool to intermediate temperatures and high humidity, mimicking its native habitat. Isabelia pulchella thrives in bright, indirect light. A good tip for cultivation is to provide a well-draining potting mix and avoid overwatering, allowing the roots to dry slightly between waterings.
