Epidendrum medusae

Description

Well-established, near-blooming size (I expect them to bloom next year in our greenhouse) seedling in a 3.25" pot. This flask was treated with colchicine to promote tetraploidy (4n) which produces larger, more robust plants and flowers. Tetraploidy is not guaranteed with this treatment but is much more likely.

This is possibly the coolest (and hardest to find) species in the genus Epidendrum! Large (over 3") for an Epi, The green and purple flower has a super frilly lip that gave this species its name. 

Care: This species prefers a shady place to live, cool-intermediate temps, and regular watering and light feeding year-round.
