Epidendrum Jairak Valley var. 'Yellow'

Description:

Culture: Epidendrums will enjoy bright in-direct light provided they are introduced to it gradually. In the tropics where strong light is associated with heat, plants that are kept in the open can suffer burns when the sun comes out after the monsoons. Ideally, Epidendrums do well under nets allowing 50-60% sunlight to pass through. Plants receiving lesser amounts of light have leaves that are dark green and flowering will be markedly reduced. Ensure that your plants are protected from the afternoon sun especially during the summer. For those who do not have greenhouses, east or west facing balcony which receives a few hours of sunlight would be ideal. Provide the plants good air circulation at all times. withholding the watering for a longer period like over few weeks can encourage bud growth. However, make sure the plants are happy and aren’t dehydrated. Epidendrums will bloom happily throughout the year irrespective of a temperature differential between day and night. Remember to give your plants enough light when you use a high nitrogen fertilizer to prevent rot.
