How to cultivate Phnom Penh Orchid

Golden Edged Mo Orchid is an orchid plant. Its propagation methods include division and tissue culture. Golden Edged Mo Orchid prefers semi-shady environment. The suitable temperature for growth is between 20~28℃. Generally, the soil suitable for growth requires rich humus, slightly acidic, loose and breathable, and water-conserving and fertilizer-retaining soil.
