ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom
Coccineorchis cristata is generally resistant to disease and faces relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it needs high humidity combined with good ventilation and minimal harmful pathogens. Too much watering can cause root rot. Although anyone can grow Coccineorchis cristata, keeping it healthy and getting it to bloom again requires more cultivation experience.
