Epidendrum arachnoglossum
A reed-stem orchid native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing dense, rounded corymbs crowded with star-shaped flowers bearing lanceolate, spreading sepals and a deeply fringed, lacinate lip — a distinctive feature that gives the species its name. The upright canes have a characteristic spiny texture along the internodes.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the foliage.
- Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that appreciates mild days and cool nights with good air movement.
- Humidity: 70–85%; consistent humidity supports vigorous cane growth and prolific flowering.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the substrate to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.
Additional Notes
A species native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix. The bold, rounded inflorescences make it a striking specimen plant. Ships bare root, well-established.
