Epidendrum Pautenito

A floriferous primary hybrid of Epi. hugomedinae × Epi. schumannianum, combining the dense, multi-flowered inflorescences of both parents into a striking branched display. The blooms inherit the bold spotted patterning and contrasting lip tones characteristic of its lineage, carried on tall, vigorous cane stems.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to prevent stress on the tall stems and 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 circulation around the stems and roots helps prevent fungal issues and supports vigorous growth.
• 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 or in baskets to allow the branched inflorescences to develop freely. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
