Description
Ascocentrum curvifolium is a species of Orchid native to Thailand, bears multiple 1 inch, bright red-orange flowers on spikes that are about 10-12 inches tall on mature plants. Blooms around March to May. Flowers last about 1-2 months.
These orchids are all epiphytic. They do not like any potting medium. Vanda orchids must not be allowed to dry out entirely. Saturate the roots with water every time you water them, which means the roots should turn green and retain a drop of water at the tip. Watering of these Vandas must be done with care to prevent water from remaining in the crowns ( top leaves), a condition that can cause crown rot.
There could be black/brown markings on the old leaves which are only physical bruises from import packing and handling. The red markings are pigments that are seen in a lot of orchids with red-colored flowers.
