Anguloa uniflora

Anguloa uniflora, known as the "Tulip Orchid," is one of the most captivating species to emerge from the Andean cloud forests of Ecuador. Its large, waxy, tulip-shaped blooms carry a sweet, intoxicating fragrance that fills any room — a sensory experience as unforgettable as the flower itself. Grown with care at Ecuagenera, this specimen arrives healthy and ready to thrive in your collection.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Filtered sunlight mimics its natural forest canopy habitat — avoid harsh direct sun to protect the leaves.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Aim for 18–24°C (65–75°F) during the day and cooler nights of 10–15°C (50–59°F) to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: 50–70% humidity is ideal. A humidity tray or room humidifier will keep this cloud forest native happy.
• Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water frequently with excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Whether you're an experienced orchid grower or adding your first Anguloa to your collection, this species rewards attentive care with breathtaking blooms and an unforgettable fragrance season after season.
