Renanthera citrina Aver. 1997 is an epiphytic, occasionally also lithophytic growing, orchid species native to Vietnam, which has recently
been discovered in the mid of the 90th.

Flowers reach a size of about 6 cm. Inflorescences get lengths up to about 45 cm and are packed with up to 25 simultaneously opening flowers. Flowering period: February - May. Renanthera citrina orchids are protected by CITES Appendix II (trade controlled to avoid use incompatible with species survival). The small sized orchid species requires a warm – hot, humid climate and a location in partial shade - full sun. Plants should be kept moist, but not wet and should be cultivated in a very good-drained potting medium or mounted on wood.
