Rhynchostylis gigantea is native to Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Borneo and Indonesia. It is a medium sized, monopodial, warm to hot growing epiphyte. The Giant Rhynchostylis blooms on the axillary, arcuate, to 15 inches long, racemose, densely many flowered inflorescence, with sweetly fragrant blooms that last for about two weeks. Rhynchostylis gigantea needs a light level of 30000-40000 lux. Sunlight should be strong, but not direct, diffused light is more beneficial. Strong air movement should be ensured all the time. Maintain a level of humidity about 80% for most of the year, in winter and early spring, falling to around 70-75%. The plants should be watered abundantly during the growth period, but the air around the roots should be ensured at this time, allowing them to quickly dry after watering. In the case of plants growing in pots or baskets, the substrate used must not be soaked or wet.
