description_en: Genus of about 20 species of evergreen, epiphytic or terrestrial orchids native to South America, occurring in warm, moist rainforest, sometimes on rocky outcrops or in leaf litter. They have conical to ovoid pseudobulbs, from the tops of which are produced 2 or more narrowly elongated, lance-shaped, leathery or fleshy leaves. Racemes of delicate, highly fragrant flowers, most of which are richly coloured with an attractive combination of green-brown and indigo-blue, arise from the bases of the pseudobulbs from autumn to spring.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Divide when the roots of the plant fill the container and "flow" over the sides. Alternatively, remove backbulbs and pot them up separately.
pests_en: May be attacked by red spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs.
