Epidendrum radicans ORANGE

Light: Epidendrums thrive with medium to high light conditions. If your orchid is receiving the ideal amount of sunlight the foliage will be grassy green. Too much light can turn leaves brown and not enough will cause the orchid to become very tall and will keep the plant from producing flowers.

Watering: Should be done regularly. During warmer months, every 4-5 days which can be taken down to once a week in the winter. In our California climate, we have found a drip line going twice a week works great. And don't be afraid to give the whole plant a shower once in a while.

Growing Medium: Like many orchids, Epidendrums like good drainage and do best in a mix of cactus soil and medium-grade bark.

Fertilizer: Though I personally seldom fertilize my orchids, they can benefit from a balanced fertilizer (20-20-20) at a half-strength solution every time you water.
