Epidendrum wallisii

A striking reed-stem epiphyte from the cloud forests of the northern Andes, producing arching, few-flowered racemes with narrow, spreading sepals and petals marked with fine dark spotting. The three-lobed lip features prominently fringed lateral lobes and a vivid orange callus at its base.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Temperature: 57–78°F (14–26°C); an intermediate-warm grower that adapts well to stable warm conditions with moderate night temperature drops.
• Humidity: 65–85%; ensure good air movement around roots and foliage to 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 or mounted on cork. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, ready to settle into their new growing environment.
