Epidendrum nocturnum

$35.00

A beautiful night-scented Epidendrum.

This species is naturally found in several parts of Central America, the West Indies, and into northern South America as far south as Peru, Bolvia and Brazil.

A large sized, reed stemmed orchid, it produces large showy flowers on the end of mature pseudobulbs which are intensely fragrant - particularly at night - and described as eucalyptus to anise scented.

Grows best in intermediate to warm conditions, in bright diffuse light with constant moisture all year and good air movement. Grows naturally in a range of conditions so will tolerate some variation in temperature. It doesn’t need a winter rest although it is recommended to keep it drier in winter if grown in cooler conditions.

Health established seedlings, 6 months out of flask.
