Information

Description

Description

A reed-stem orchid native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing pendant racemes densely lined with flowers bearing very long, reflexed linear sepals and equally narrow, downward-curving petals with a small lip and contrasting white column. The dramatic, spider-like inflorescence is one of the most visually striking in the genus.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the foliage.
  • Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that benefits from mild days and cool nights with good air movement.
  • Humidity: 70–85%; consistent humidity supports vigorous cane development and prolific flowering.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the substrate to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a hanging basket or elevated pot to allow the pendant racemes to cascade freely. Grow in a well-draining bark-based mix. Ships bare root, well-established.
