Notes
Ghost orchid (Dendrophylax lindenii) is a houseplant for use as a specimen. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This slow-growing evergreen often has no leaves at all. When leaves do appear, they are small and bractlike. The white flowers open in late winter, spring, and summer.
Pairs well with Marble Queen pothos, Paintbrush, and Calla lily.
