Spathoglottis Lemon Kiss – Native Orchid

Spathoglottis ‘Lemon Kiss™’ – native orchid

DESCRIPTION: Hybrid of the native FNQ rainforest ground orchid, which multiplies in clumps creating a lush foliage display. This compact orchid has bright yellow flower petals with a contrasting lip with a splash of purple; produced year-round in warm climates and spring and summer in cooler parts of Australia.
USE IN: Borders or mass planting as a feature in tropical garden settings, suited to containers.
PLANTING: Plant in a full sun-partly shaded location in well-drained soil, although it might tolerate seasonally wet soils and sunny creek banks. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks.
CARE: For longest flowering and lush new growth provide additional water during dry periods and feed with a dilute liquid fertiliser monthly. If clumps become too large simply dig the plants up and gently separate the bulbs to plant elsewhere or share with neighbours!
HEIGHT: 60cm H
YOUR PLANTS: Supplied as ‘plugs’, slightly smaller than our usual tubestock but with a healthy root system ready for planting or potting on.
