Miltonia spectabilis

Miltonia spectabilis bears quite large flowers to 10 cm which are soft rose, blush white with a dark purple mask. An elegant flower. These plants do well in a shallow pot with a coarse mix topped with finer media. They also do well in a basket and on a treefern or cork mount if extra water is given. Give them bright light, good air movement and water and fertilise well when they are growing. This species will develop into quite large, very showy clumps if given room and grown well.
