Andinia hirtzii

Andinia hirtzii

Andinia hirtzii Luer, first published in Monographs in Systematic Botany in 2005, is a stunning cool-growing miniature orchid native to Ecuador. At 7 cm, this captivating epiphyte is a favorite among terrarium growers for its lush foliage and the rewarding blooms it produces under the right conditions — a living piece of Ecuadorian cloud forest heritage.

Care Guide

  • Light: Bright, indirect light — filtered sunlight is ideal; avoid direct exposure to protect its delicate foliage
  • Temperature: Cool conditions with daytime temps of 20–28°C (68–82°F) and slightly cooler nights of 15–20°C (59–68°F)
  • Humidity: High humidity at 60–80%; frequent misting, humidity trays, or a well-ventilated terrarium are recommended
  • Watering: Water regularly, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings; a well-draining mix ensures proper root aeration
  • Plant size: Approximately 7 cm

Lovingly cultivated in the highlands of Ecuador by Ecuagenera, Andinia hirtzii is an outstanding choice for cool terrarium setups and collectors seeking authentic, botanically significant species.
