Epi. paniculatum
Originating in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela, this tall, cane-like Epidendrum has branching flower stems that can hold as many as 250 fragrant flowers measuring about 2.5cm across. The flowers are usually pale green with a white lip. They enjoy cool to warm temperatures (min. 14C overnight) and dappled to bright indirect light.
The photo that shows on each available variant is indicative of the size plant that you will receive. Size B plants can be expected to reach flowering size in 3 years; Size B+ plants in 2-2.5 years; Size C plants in 6-18 months (depending on the flowering season and time of purchase). Please check carefully when selecting options to avoid “size surprise”.
Epidendrum (Epi.) are closely related to Cattleyas and are often cross pollinated. Cattleya and their extended family of Orchids, originate from Central America. Sometimes known as windowsill orchids, Cattleya are a tolerant, easy to grow, indoor orchid; who enjoy a well lit, cool-warm position in your home (although we recommend avoiding too much direct sunlight in the heat of the day, morning or afternoon will be fine). They are a pleasure to own with their frequently large, showy flowers.
