The Acinetias tend to be cooler growers from the cloud forests of Central America. Acinetia chrysantha comes from Costa Rica and grows best in a small basket much the same as Stanhopeas. The media should be rich, well drained but retaining enough moisture so that the roots do not dry out. Flowers are born on a long pendulous spike, each flower up to 5cm in diameter, yellow with fine red spots and red spotting on the labellum. A shady well ventilated spot is needed to protect the soft foliage.
