Trichocentrum Microchilum

Trichocentrum microchilum is a unique orchid species native to the cloud forests of Central and South America. This epiphytic plant thrives in humid, shaded environments where it attaches itself to trees without drawing nutrients from them. Its small, delicate flowers are often overlooked despite their striking beauty and subtle fragrance. The plant's name reflects its distinctive lip, which is both narrow and finely textured. Due to habitat loss, Trichocentrum microchilum is becoming increasingly rare, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival.
