Plants Off-Sale Now, But Returning!

This listing is for a well-established, blooming-size Epidendrum scriptum x E coronatum in a 3.25" pot.   We returned from Colombia with these 2 unusual Epidendrum species and I couldn't resist crossing them! The result was a large, branching flower spike with up to 40 flowers the shape of E scriptum (the long “snout” look) but with larger, creamier white and green flowers.  Fairly stout and compact for a reed stem type Epi, mature canes are 20"-30" tall and new growth emerges a beautiful purple color and greens as it matures.  Care: Cool-hot temps, indirect-bright indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
