Epidendrum Panama Ruby

A primary hybrid of Epi. medusae × Epi. porpax, combining the compact, densely leafy creeping habit of Epi. porpax with the dramatic, large, globose lip of Epi. medusae. Flowers emerge directly among the alternately arranged lanceolate leaves, each displaying elongated yellow-green sepals and a large, concave, velvety maroon-purple lip with fringed margins and a yellow-green throat.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to preserve the compact, leafy habit.
• Temperature: 54–75°F (12–24°C); an intermediate grower that adapts well to stable conditions with moderate night temperature drops.
• Humidity: 65–85%; good air movement around the creeping stems and roots 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 mounted on cork or in a shallow, well-draining bark mix to accommodate its creeping habit. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
