Eine von Vieren: Macodes sanderiana. Eine spannende Zeitreise in die Zeit Rudolf Schlechters

Macodes sanderiana 'Fruit Salad'

A very attractive and easy to cultivate jewel orchid for both beginners and advanced enthusiasts. Macodes sanderiana ‘Fruit Salad’ was one of the first jewel orchids we were able to acquire for our collection. It differs significantly from Macodes petola ‘Malachit’, both in the pattern of the leaf veins and in the flowers. Sanders Macodes ‘Fruit Salad’ is a small jewel orchid that grows in Sumatra and Papua New Guinea, among other places. It likes warm to medium temperatures and high humidity. The colourful splendour of its leaves is difficult to capture on camera. But you will enjoy it as soon as you see the leaves in the sunlight. The leaves are velvety, reflect the light and look simply stunning in bright light. Macodes species have a creeping rhizome with few internodes. An excellent jewel orchid and a must in our eyes. We grow Macodes sanderiana ‘Fruit Salad’ on Sphagnum moss, water with rainwater and use very little fertiliser. Direct sunlight is not recommended.
