Rodriguezia venusta is a species of orchid native to Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil.[1]
Description
[edit | edit source]Rodriguezia venusta is an epiphytic orchid species, with sympodial growth and exuberant flowering. Its flowers bloom in the form of hanging stems full of small white flowers with a center varying between beige or yellowish tones. Its size is small, not reaching more than 20 centimeters in height, however, it is grouped in dense clumps, growing horizontally.[2]
Its roots are aerial, so this orchid prefers stony substrates, and planting in confined pots should be avoided.[3]
