General Information and Care: Platystele stenostachya 'Pale Yellow' is a beautiful miniature orchid species that make a gorgeous addition to a terrarium. This species stays very small, typically with leaves under 2' in length and even when it flowers, the flowers are typically only just barely beyond the leaves.
