Information

Epidendrum calanthum alba

A rare unpigmented form of Epi. calanthum from the cloud forests of Ecuador, sharing the same floriferous reed-stem habit as the typical species — erect, branching racemes with lanceolate reflexed sepals, narrow petals, and a large trilobed lip with a broad, deeply fringed central lobe. A prized collector's form for its clean, ghost-like floral presentation.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the foliage.
  • Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate grower that thrives with stable temperatures and good air circulation.
  • 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

A naturally occurring alba form selected from the cloud forests of Ecuador. Grow in a well-draining bark-based mix in an open, well-ventilated position. Ships bare root, well-established.
