Angraecum leonis Culture
Successful cultivation of Angraecum leonis requires careful attention to its specific needs. Here are some key cultural tips to ensure its healthy growth:
Light: Angraecum leonis prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun, avoid intense midday sun which can scorch its leaves.
Temperature: To mimic its natural habitat, aim for warm daytime temperatures between 24-30°C (75-86°F) and slightly cooler night temperatures around 18-22°C (64-72°F).
Humidity: High humidity is crucial for the well-being of Angraecum leonis. Maintain humidity levels between 60-80% by using humidifiers, pebble trays, or misting regularly.
Watering: Water thoroughly and consistently, allowing the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
