Anguloa tognettiae

Anguloa tognettiae

Anguloa tognettiae Oakeley (1999) is a beautiful and relatively recently described Tulip Orchid from Ecuador's cool cloud forests. Growing naturally under the shade of towering trees, this intermediate-growing species produces the characteristic large, waxy, cup-shaped flowers with a rocking lip and a delightful fragrance — all on a substantial 45 cm plant that rewards patient growers with a truly spectacular bloom season.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light — filtered sunlight is ideal, mimicking its natural shaded habitat; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf damage
• Temperature: Intermediate conditions with daytime temps of 18–24°C (65–75°F) and cooler nights of 10–15°C (50–59°F); avoid high temperatures
• Humidity: High humidity at 50–70%, reflecting its cloud forest origins; humidifiers or humidity trays are recommended
• Watering: Keep substrate consistently moist without waterlogging; a well-draining mix with frequent watering and good drainage prevents root rot
• Plant size: Approximately 45 cm

Cultivated in the Ecuadorian highlands by Ecuagenera, Anguloa tognettiae is a fragrant and botanically distinguished species that brings the spirit of Ecuador's misty cloud forests into your collection.
