Eria hyacinthoides

Introducing the Eria hyacinthoides, a stunning addition to any orchid enthusiast's collection. Originating from the lush landscapes of the Malaysian peninsula, Sumatra, and Java, this small-sized epiphyte or lithophyte thrives in warm to cool conditions at elevations ranging from 500 to 1700 meters.

With its clustered, oblong pseudobulbs adorned with narrowly lanceolate, petiolate leaves, Eria hyacinthoides exudes elegance. Each pseudobulb carries a trio of glossy light-green leaves, forming a compact and visually appealing plant. As spring emerges, be prepared to witness the magic unfold with the emergence of erect spikes from the bulb's sides near the apex.

The blooms of Eria hyacinthoides are a true marvel, reminiscent of hyacinths in their densely packed, pure white clusters. Despite their small size, these flowers emit a faint yet delightful fragrance, adding an extra layer of charm to this already exquisite plant. Each spike can carry as many as 50-75 flowers, ensuring a breathtaking display.

Cultivating Eria hyacinthoides is a rewarding experience, thanks to its easy-going nature and fast growth habits. Providing intermediate conditions will suffice, allowing this orchid to thrive and flourish. With proper care, expect your Eria hyacinthoides to reach heights of 24-30 inches, forming tight clumps of pseudobulbs reminiscent of cymbidiums.
