Rhynchostylis Gigantea “alba”
$40.00
On offer is mature flowering size
Rhynchostylis gigantea alba is one of those orchids that feels almost sculptural—pure, luminous, and surprisingly tough for such an elegant plant.
The alba form behaves almost identically to the typical colour form, just with that clean, green‑and‑white palette.
Bright, filtered light—Cattleya-level, but not full sun
Leaves should be medium green, not dark
Too much shade = fewer spikes
Thrives in warm–hot conditions
Needs constant airflow to avoid bacterial spotting on leaves
Watering
Loves daily watering in the wet season
In the dry season, water 3–5× per week depending on your microclimate
Mounted or basket-grown plants dry fast but bloom best
Fertilizer
Light but frequent feeding
A balanced fertilizer at ¼–½ strength during active growth
Flush regularly to avoid salt buildup on roots
🌸 Flowering tips
Needs strong light to initiate spikes
Keep it slightly drier in the early dry season to trigger blooming
Once spikes appear, resume heavier watering
