Stanhopea tigrina is an enchanting and aromatic orchid species prized for its exotic, short-lived blooms and unique floral structure. Each flower emerges downward from beneath the pot on thick, pendant inflorescences, presenting large, waxy blossoms with intricate tiger‑striped patterns of deep bronze and cream. The blooms carry a powerful, sweet fragrance often compared to honey or cinnamon.
This compact orchid thrives in bright, indirect light and warm, intermediate conditions. It prefers a chunky, free‑draining mix such as coarse bark, charcoal, and perlite, which supports its healthy root system. Water thoroughly during its active growth period and allow the potting media to dry lightly before the next watering. Humidity between 50–70% and good air circulation help promote blooming and prevent rot. After flowering, Stanhopea tigrina may rest briefly before producing new growth and a fresh floral display.
Ideal for hanging baskets or mesh pots that provide space for its pendent flower spikes, Stanhopea tigrina offers collectors a dramatic show of color, scent, and botanical intrigue with its fleeting but unforgettable blossoms.
