| This is certainly one of the most rewarding orchids to grow, with its
habit of blooming several times a year, long-lasting (up to a month) flowers,
and a strong, sweet fragrance (stronger at night, but still very present
during the day). Coming from highland Madagascar, these plants enjoy
cooler conditions than their hot lowland cousins such as Angraecum sesquipedale.
This orchid grows in a fairly bright spot in the Wardian Case, receives lots of cooling airflow from the fan, and is kept evenly moist. |
