Epidendrum Mayra

A primary hybrid of Epi. hugomedinae × Epi. lirion, combining striking ornamental foliage with floriferous, dense corymbs of small, rounded flowers with a prominent central callus on the lip. The upright, compact stems bear large, lanceolate leaves with a deep purple-flushed underside and midrib, making this hybrid as visually rewarding out of bloom as it is in flower.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; adequate light enhances both the purple foliage pigmentation and prolific blooming.
• Temperature: 54–75°F (12–24°C); an intermediate grower that benefits from moderate temperature fluctuations between day and night.
• Humidity: 65–85%; good air movement around the roots and stems helps prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid standing water at the roots.

Additional Notes

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