Epidendrum coronatum x Encyclia cordigera

Description

Well-established near-blooming size seedlings in 3.25" pots. This is an in-house hybrid and is available exclusively from Orchids For The People. These plants should bloom in 12-18 months if cared for properly.

The parent flowers are pictured, as we have not seen blooms yet with this cross of 2 interesting species. Epi coronatum is a medium-sized plant with large (for an Epi, 1.5+") creamy white, fragrant flowers. Enc cordigera is a medium-sized plant with 3" dark purple fragrant flowers. We have no idea what the flowers will look like but are hoping for rather large, fragrant flowers on a fairly compact plant.

The plant looks like a reed stem epidendrum but with very fleshy, almost succulent leaves. 

Growing conditions: intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding throughout the growing season (spring-fall) with a slightly dry rest period in the winter.
