This is a rare form of the Hong-Kong Orchid with tiny leaves and light blue flowers.
Medium size shrub for full to partial sun. Average moisture during the warm weather and a little
drier during the winter when the plant may become semi-deciduous. Mininum temperatures in
the high 20's, but it is better to avoid freezing temperatures. The bluish flowers appear most of
the time during the warmer months. This is a great bonsai subject.
