Paraphalaenopsis labukensis – Rare Orchid Species
Bring a piece of Borneo’s lush rainforests into your collection with Paraphalaenopsis labukensis, a rare and exotic orchid admired for its unique foliage and striking flowers. Native to the lowland forests of Sabah, Malaysia, this epiphytic species is a true collector’s gem. Its elongated, terete (cylindrical) leaves can reach impressive lengths, resembling succulent vines, while the flower spikes produce star-shaped blooms in warm tones of cream, pink, and yellow with distinct red markings.
Ideal for experienced growers or orchid enthusiasts looking to expand their collection with something truly special, P. labukensis thrives in warm, humid environments with excellent air circulation. It’s a slow grower, but well worth the wait.
