Epidendrum capricornu
A robust reed-stem orchid native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing multiple tall, densely branched panicles that rise well above the dark-leaved foliage, each crowded with hundreds of small flowers bearing narrow linear sepals and a compact lip. The vigorous, multi-stemmed habit and prolific bloom production make it a commanding specimen when in full flower.
- 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 benefits from mild days and cool nights with good air movement.
- Humidity: 70–85%; consistent humidity supports vigorous cane development and the abundant flowering this species is known for.
- 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 in a large pot to accommodate its vigorous, multi-stemmed growth. Ships bare root, well-established.
