Epidendrum longirepens - Creeping Amber Orchid

Epidendrum longirepens is a succulent-leaf, mat-forming orchid native to Peru. This plant crawls flat along trees and rocks, with its leaves covering most of the visible stem. The blooms are just as tiny as the rest of the plant, growing transluscent, yellowish flowers at the ends of their stems.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light.
• Water: As a houseplant, prefers to approach dryness between waterings (every 1-3 days).
• Considerations: Extra humidity encourages blooms and vigorous growth. A great terrarium specimen.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Each mount measures approximately 5.5" long with a heavy wire hanger. No two pieces are alike, and yours will have its own unique shape, size and personality - expect this natural variation from the photos.
