Sarcochilus, native to Australia, are easy to grow and bloom either indoors or outside. They can grow from warm to cool, preferring moist, shady, breezy conditions but can handle cold (reduce watering) and fairly hot temperatures (water more, every 2 or 3 days during summer). Although flowers are commonly found as white with pink or red spots, this variety is one of the better reds, almost solid red with few to no white specks on the petals.
