Epidendrum baezense
A reed-stem orchid native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing multiple arching to pendant racemes with loosely arranged, small bell-shaped flowers featuring ovate sepals and a lip with undulate to finely fringed margins. The channeled, lanceolate leaves and freely branching inflorescences give the plant an elegant, cascading silhouette.
- 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 stem development and reliable blooming.
- 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, named after the town of Baeza in the Napo province. Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix or in a hanging basket to showcase the arching inflorescences. Ships bare root, well-established.
