Pecteilis susannae
orchids
Description
Pecteilis susannae, also known as the 'White Butterfly Orchid', is a striking terrestrial orchid species. It is characterized by its tall, slender stems and its elegantly shaped flowers. The leaves are generally lance-shaped and a vibrant green, adding to the plant's overall attractiveness. The flowers are the main attraction, as they are large, showy, and typically pure white, with a distinctive butterfly-like shape and often a delicate fragrance. Pecteilis susannae prefers a well-draining, slightly acidic growing medium, like a mix of peat moss and perlite. It flourishes in bright, indirect light and moderate to high humidity. The plant requires consistent moisture during its growing season. It is important to provide it with ample air circulation. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Fertilize regularly during the growing and flowering seasons to encourage healthy development.
