Gastrochilus acutifolius is an epiphytic orchid from the eastern Himalayas and Southeast Asia, growing on trees in humid forests. Like other Gastrochilus, it is best grown mounted or in a fine orchid mix with good airflow and humidity.
Gastrochilus acutifolius is a species of orchid found in Assam (India), eastern Himalayas, Nepal, Myanmar and Vietnam. The specific epithet, acutifolius, meaning "thorny leaves", is derived from Latin acutus (pointed, acute), and -folius (-leaved), and refers to the characteristic shape of the leaves.
