Collabium is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Species of collabium are typically terrestrial and grow under shade in forests. They are distributed in southeast Asia. There are 11 species.
Water:
Collabium thrives in humid environments, requiring consistently moist soil and weekly watering. It is more often grown indoors for controlled humidity and benefits from regular misting to mimic its tropical habitat. Moderate drought sensitivity necessitates attention to moisture levels.
Propagation:
Collabium is propagated through division, keiki, or tissue culture instead of seed sowing due to low germination. High humidity, warm temperatures, and orchid substrates like bark or sphagnum moss are vital. Caution against fungal infections and sterile practices are essential for success.
