In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

Ascocentrum miniatum is a compact, epiphytic orchid from Southeast Asia known for its striking orange flower clusters. Despite its modest size, this species is a real eye-catcher, especially during flowering. Its small size and strong adaptability make it an ideal choice for lovers of mini-orchids with an exotic character.

Origin

Ascocentrum miniatum is native to the mountain forests of Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia. There it grows as an epiphyte on tree branches, often in sunny, well-ventilated places. Since the reclassification within the orchid family, this species is often assigned to the genus Vanda, but among hobbyists the old name Ascocentrum miniatum is still common and popular.

Characteristics

This orchid remains compact, with firm, leathery leaves that grow in a fan shape. During flowering, it produces an upright cluster of dozens of small, bright orange flowers with a slight sheen. The flowers usually appear in large numbers, providing an intense color accent.
Because of its natural growth habit, this species is great for attaching to cork or keeping in a hanging basket, allowing the roots to hang freely.

Care

Light

Ascocentrum miniatum needs plenty of light, preferably filtered sunlight. An east or south-facing spot with some morning or late afternoon sun is ideal. Too little light inhibits flowering.

Temperature

This species likes heat. The ideal daytime temperature is between 22°C and 30°C, with nights that do not fall below 15°C. Avoid cold drafts. 

Substrate

If kept in a pot, use a very airy substrate of coarse bark or place it on a block of cork. Make sure the roots can dry out quickly.

Humidity

A humidity of 60-80% is ideal. Regular misting or the use of a humidifier is recommended, especially in heated indoor spaces.

Nutrition

During the growing season, give a diluted orchid fertilizer weekly (1/4 of the recommended dose). In winter, once a month is sufficient.

Watering

Water with demineralized water or clean rainwater as soon as the roots have completely dried up. In summer this can be daily, in winter less frequently. Do not leave water in the leaf axils.

Flowering

Flowering usually occurs in spring or early summer, depending on temperature and light conditions. With proper care, this species can bloom annually. The flowers usually remain beautiful for 2 to 4 weeks.
