For the epidendrum to produce its spectacular flower clusters, it needs a large amount of light (much more than ordinary orchids). A south, southeast, or southwest windowsill is an absolutely ideal choice. Healthy leaves may develop a slight reddish or bronze tint in strong light – this is normal and indicates sufficient light!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 💧 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatering:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Abundant but infrequent! Since this plant often grows as an epiphyte in nature, its roots must breathe. Between watering, the substrate (fine orchid bark) should be allowed to dry well but not become dusty dry. The best method is to soak the pot in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes, let it absorb water, then drain all excess water.

It is important to know a very interesting and exciting feature of epidendrums: small \"babies\" or keikis (young plants with their own roots) often start to form on their stems or even at the ends of old flower spikes. When these little ones’ roots reach about 5 cm in length, they can be confidently separated from the mother plant and planted separately, thus easily propagating your orchid collection! Cut off spent flower spikes only when they are completely dried out and brown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.augi-plants.lv","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54469336170825,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_041bc0fb-45c4-4224-b03c-9aa75a60f496.heic?v=1783665573","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/epidendrum-orange-red","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
