Sarcochilus argochilus

A small Queensland Sarcochilus that is barely documented; this profile is generalised from the epiphytic members of the genus in Queensland rainforest. Treat it like its relatives: a compact monopodial epiphyte that wants bright shade, constant air movement, frequent watering and cool-to-intermediate temperatures. Expect to refine conditions by observation.

Where it grows wild

Assumed from the genus: on twigs and branches of rainforest or gallery-forest trees, or on mossy rocks, in humid, airy places along creeks and ranges.

No wild records with elevations. The single climate site (303 m) is a region centroid, not a known locality.
