Aerides krabiensis

A small, lithophytic Aerides from the limestone karst of peninsular Thailand (Krabi) and northern peninsular Malaysia. It grows on exposed rock in strong light and fast-drying conditions, so it wants more sun and better drainage than most of the genus, with a slightly drier spell from January to March.
