Epidendrum tetraceros

A slender, creeping epiphyte from the cloud forests of Central Amverica, producing few-flowered racemes of delicate blooms on wiry, leafy stems. The flowers display narrow, spreading sepals and petals alongside a broad, three-lobed lip with undulate margins and intricate purple veining on a white ground.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the slender stems and foliage.
• Temperature: 54–75°F (12–24°C); an intermediate grower that benefits from moderate temperature fluctuations between day and night.
• Humidity: 70–85%; good air circulation around the roots is essential for healthy growth.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid standing water at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern, or in a very open, well-draining bark mix. Plants are shipped bare root and well established, ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
