Don't leave the plantlets in the container too long, but take them out and place them on a piece of cork, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics and origin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Psychmorchis is also known by the name \u003cspan\u003eErycina pusilla. Originally, this species grows in Central and South America. It is a botanical orchid. The leaves of this miniature orchid grow in a typical fan shape. The striking yellow flowers are remarkably large in proportion to the plant, making this little orchid a nice surprise during flowering in a beautiful paludarium, for example. Thereby, this orchid can grow well on a branch or on cork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuickly mature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhereas most orchids take about 5 years to reach maturity and flower for the first time, this orchid is capable of flowering after only 1-1.5 years.
