Comments: Plant is from Panama. Epidendrum schlechterianum is a miniature reedstem with an equitant growth habit native to humid forests at lower altitudes from Mexico to northern South America. It is considered uncommon within its range. Schlechterianum is occasionally found as a lithophyte, but most typically is epiphytic. A mature plant may reach as much as 6 cm (2.5 inches) in overall height. It blooms apically in the Northern Hemisphere in the early spring, with one or two flowers. The very fleshy flowers are surprisingly large for the size of the plant, measuring up to 3 cm in length.
Donor's culture notes: Temperature range W (70-90°F). It is growing on cork with a bit of sheet moss around the root area. It enjoys good light but shouldn't be placed in full sunlight. I grow and bloom it in bright partial shade, good humidity.
Unique ID: MC2137
(this will not change even if any part of the name should change)
