Trichoglottis biglandulosa

Trichoglottis biglandulosa is a little-documented epiphytic orchid endemic to Java. The few records come from hill and montane forest in western and eastern Java, so treat it as an intermediate-temperature, humid, bright-shade epiphyte like its relatives and adjust to how your plant responds.

Where it grows wild

Assumed to grow on tree branches in humid evergreen forest, as Trichoglottis generally do. Nothing species-specific about its microhabitat is published that we could find.

Records span roughly 300–2600 m, with most around 1500–2000 m in the West Java highlands.
