Gomesa radicans

Gomesa radicans is miniature species from Brazil’s Atlantic coast where it grows at around 400m altitude.  We find that the species prefers deep shade and lots of water, and will grow cooler than the habitat suggests and so does well in both in our Warm and Cool sections.

The plant rapidly multiplies into an attractive ball of thin green leaves and little pseudobulbs and is happy mounted, potted or in a basket. We keep plants watered well throughout the year and are rewarded with a profusion of the attractive little flowers that last a long time.
