Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range Intermediate 83-60°F, in cooler season Cool-Cold 64-44°F. While sometimes considered synonymous to E. nocturnum, the required growing conditions are different. E. carpophorum cannot tolerate high heat; while nocturnum loves heat. E. carpophorum is a mountain rain forest plant, while here in Florida, nocturnum is a lowland swamp plant. Potted in a mix of fir bark, charcoal, aliflor, and sponge rock.
Comments: This spontaneous capsule is almost certainly a selfing.
Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Distributed from southern Florida, through Mexico and
Central America, the West Indies, and into northern South America as far
south as Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Plants grow mostly as epiphytes on
trees and rocks, but occasionally may grow as terrestrials. They are found
in both wet and dry regions, growing in tall, evergreen lowland forest, in
open fields, and disturbed forests. Plants most frequently are found at
elevations between 350 and 3300 ft. (100-1000 m), but collections have
been reported from as high as 6550 ft. (2000 m). This widely distributed
orchid has been collected many times, and a long list of collection
locations, elevations, and dates is available at Tropicos.
