Epigeneium clemensiae (mount)

A cool-intermediate Chinese miniature orchid. Produces tiny red flowers and stays super compact. A cute and uncommon species similar to Bulbophyllum. High humidity and good circulation recommended. Great for terrariums. 

This is a mature, blooming size plant mounted on plastic placard. Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. 

CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Fine bark or long fiber sphagnum, potted shallow. Mounted with moss.

Light: Shaded medium-bright. Must be given ample water and humidity for brighter locations. 

Water: Water frequently in hot months as the media reaches dry. These prefer moist conditions, do not allow them to fully dry out or stay dry for long. Enjoys a mild rest period of decreased watering and fertilizing in winter.

Temp: Cool-warm (40F min, 95F max). Favors cool.

Humidity: 60-80%, prefers medium-high humidity. Ensure good air circulation for terrarium or greenhouse growing.

Fertilizing: 1/4-1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every month as new roots and leaves emerge. Run clean tap water through the growing media once monthly to prevent salt buildup. Light feeders - less is more.
