Miltoniopsis orchids always catch our attention, because of their wonderous flowers which create stunning displays. Because of the oriental colours, the lemony fragrance and just shear beauty.
One of this miltoniopsis is Newton Falls which has a stunning deep crimson red flowers with the characteristic waterfall of tears on the lower lip. This tears are one of the most appealing characteristics of this hybrid. They charm and add character.
Miltoniopsis Newton Fall is a child of Miltoniopsis Hamburg with Miltoniopsis Goodnews Bay and was registered in the 1990. The parent hybrids will probably be almost imposible to find right now. But the effect of this cross is stunning! I'n my opinion this is one of the most beautiful of the miltoniopsis family. There are crosses which lip is heavy with the waterfall of teardrops but it's exactly that, it's too much. With the Newton Falls it seems that all the details have been precisely measured.
Also it's good to know that this one belongs to the more compact from the miltoniopsis range, the plants foliage never grows taller than 30 - 40 cm. However with the spike this can reach up to 60 cm, and it's mostly due to the size of the flowers which can be almost the size of 6 inches.
Miltoniopsis Newton Falls as the typical miltioniopsis can be a bit tricky when it comes to growing, it is because it needs a good moisture retentive medium. Which will constantly provide it with the moist environment. Otherwise we will end up with wrinkled foliage which may block the flower spikes from developing correctly.
They also like to watered often and appreciate colder temperatures, plus they take feeding well. So the standard every week in bloom and every other week when out of flower applies here. Gosh I said it so often.
It's very easy to find them in the shops as they are very popular and you will find them during the winter and spring season. Word of advice though, make sure to double check the root system and the bulbs, as a plant that has problems with the roots and is already weak may take a long time to save and large plants with a lot of new growth are more likely to recover from any shock and re-bloom again quickly.
