Kishu Ryokufu 紀州綠風

Neofinetia falcata Kishu Ryokufu 紀州綠風 is a princess leaf variety that produces very light green flowers.  Although not as green as Hisui, I have found this to be an easy to grow variety while some people struggle with Hisui or Tosamidori, the two greenest varieties.  I also like the dark tsuke on this guy.  Some people on Orchid Board reported they had a hard time getting green flowers, so others suggested they grow the plants in lower light.  Like all my Neos, these are grown in low light, and I have seen them consistently bloom green.  I didn’t know that some people had this trouble, and I don’t know that the low light is the actual cure for the problem.  I just always grow in low light.

Multi-growth plants (most have more growths than the plant pictured) that are potted Japanese style.
