Chysis Limminghei Blooming Size

Meet Chysis limminghei—a collector’s favourite known for its elegant, arching canes and cascading sprays of cream-to-butter blooms washed with soft amber tones. The flowers carry a sweet, honey-vanilla fragrance and present beautifully in hanging displays, on shelves, or by bright windows.

Why you’ll love it

• Showy, pendant spikes that flower all at once for a dramatic display

• Soft, sweet fragrance that lifts any space

• Graceful growth habit with handsome, pleated leaves

• Thrives in baskets or ventilated pots—great for small collections

Care (simple & practical)

• Light: Bright, filtered light. Avoid harsh midday sun; aim for luminous shade with good brightness.

• Water: Keep evenly moist during active growth; let the top layer just begin to dry before watering again. As the leaves age and growth slows, reduce watering and allow a short, drier rest until new roots resume.

• Air & Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity with steady air movement.

• Feeding: “Weakly, weekly” during active growth; flush the medium with plain water every few weeks to prevent salt build-up. Pause feeding during the rest period.

• Potting Mix: A moisture-retentive, airy medium works best—fresh sphagnum in a slotted pot/basket, or fine bark with a bit of perlite/charcoal. Repot at the start of new growth to avoid disturbing tender roots.

• Display Tip: Hang or place where the flower spikes can drape naturally.

What you’ll receive

• 1 healthy Chysis limminghei plant (budding/blooming size, nursery-grown).

• Plants are expertly packed for safe shipping. Natural variations in size, leaf count, and bloom colour are normal. Unless marked as “spiking/blooming,” plants may ship out of bloom.

Quick Success Tips

• Start regular watering and feeding once new roots appear on fresh growth.

• Give bright light and airflow for sturdy canes and strong spikes.

• Avoid keeping the medium wet during the short rest—slightly drier is better.
