Epidendrum amoanum

A miniature sympodial orchid from the cloud forests of Central America, producing short, erect inflorescences with small, flat-faced flowers featuring broad, ovate sepals and petals with a glistening texture and a prominent cucullate lip. The compact, fan-like growth habit makes it well suited for small mounts or pots.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the narrow, strap-like leaves.
• Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that appreciates mild days and cool nights.
• Humidity: 75–85%; high humidity promotes healthy root activity and consistent flowering.
• Watering: Water regularly and allow the substrate to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged dryness at the roots.
