Renanthera Lour. 1790, (abbreviation Ren.) is a genus of large scrambling monopodial epiphytic and terrestrial species distributed from India, New Guinea, and through to the Philippines. Species in this genus produce a branched inflorescence containing numerous flowers ranging in color from yellow and orange to red. These flowers possess large lateral sepals.
[edit] Cultivation
Species in this genus usually require an intermediate to hot climate with good air movement and generally bright light. Their scrambling style of growth means they are best grown on a hanging mount or basket. If they are grown in pots there must be excellent drainage.
