Epidendrum Lavinia

A primary hybrid of Epi. hugomedinae × Epi. densiflorum, producing dense, branched panicles of small flowers with broad, rounded sepals and petals and a three-lobed lip with a delicately spotted callus at its center. The lanceolate leaves display striking dark purple-flushed undersides inherited from Epi. hugomedinae, offering dual ornamental value in and out of bloom.

• 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.
