Epidendrum madsenii
A reed-stem epiphyte endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing few-flowered racemes of elegantly star-shaped blooms on upright stems. The flowers display narrow, elongated, acuminate sepals and petals spreading widely in a broad star formation, alongside a small, three-lobed lip with upward-curving lateral lobes and an apiculate central lobe.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to prevent stress on the foliage.
- Temperature: 54–75°F (12–24°C); an intermediate grower that benefits from moderate temperature fluctuations between day and night.
- Humidity: 65–85%; good air movement around the roots and stems helps prevent fungal issues.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid standing water at the roots.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, ready to settle into their new growing environment.
