Cultivation
The Miltonia orchid is a Brazilian orchid that has lush, lime-green leaves and tend to be somewhat elongated. The Miltonia orchid has a rhizome between each new bulb. Similar to the Miltoniopsis orchid, the Miltonia orchid will also thrive in pots that are placed on a cork raft of even in a slatted wooden basket. Akin to the baskets used in the basket culture of the Vanda orchids and the Ascocenda orchids. The orchid flower shapes are full and round, very much like the Pansy with a lovely rose-type scent. There are usually one or two orchid flowers on a stem. However, as a dedicated orchid grower you can cultivate your orchid plant into a specimen that will become large and be capable of bearing several inflorescences. These orchid flowers will all flower at the same time and thus create a wonderful show to reward you for all the effort that you put into keeping, maintaining and growing orchids. |
