Bllra. Tropic Lily 'Hilo Spaceship' - Syn. Alcra. Tropic Lily (Onc. Nichirei Lilac × Alcra. Tropic Splendor). Blooms in a spray of large, star-shaped creamy white flowers, spotted with maroon red. Each new growth produces 1-2 inflorescences of several flowers on tall spikes. May bloom twice a year or more as they mature into large plants.
Beallara, abbreviated Bllra. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum (Brs. x Cda. x Milt. x Odm.).
General Care: The ideal temperature range for a Odotoglossum orchid is between 65-70F (daytime) and 45-55F (night) with 65% humidity. These orchids enjoy bright, shaded light from an east facing window. Check media for dryness. Water when media is dry, approximately 1X/week.
We NEVER recommend using ICE CUBES to water your orchid plant.
A balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer diluted to 1/2 recommended strength can be used or we also recommend using a slow release form. Re-pot approximately every 2 years.
