Epidendrum

Epidendrum orchids are a diverse and abundant group known for their hardiness and adaptability. They come in various sizes and colors, with eye-catching spikes of clustered flowers. These orchids often have thick, fleshy leaves and are commonly epiphytic or lithophytic in nature.

To care for Epidendrum orchids, provide them with bright, indirect light to encourage blooming. Maintain temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) during the day and allow for a slight drop in temperature at night. Water regularly, but let the potting mix dry out partially between watering sessions to avoid waterlogged roots. Fertilize with a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
