Epidendrum stamfordianum

A pseudobulbous epiphyte from the tropical lowlands of Central and South America, producing long, branched, many-flowered racemes on arching stems. The flowers display narrow, spreading sepals and petals with fine dark spotting alongside a broad, three-lobed lip with widely flared lateral lobes.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 30–50% shade cloth; tolerates more light than most Epidendrum species, which encourages prolific blooming.
• Temperature: 60–85°F (16–29°C); a warm grower that thrives with stable warm to hot conditions year-round.
• Humidity: 60–80%; good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues and supports vigorous pseudobulb development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth and reduce slightly during cooler months; never allow the pseudobulbs to shrivel from prolonged dryness.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix or in baskets to accommodate the arching inflorescences. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
