Description: EPIDENDRUM CRUCIFIX ORCHID CUTTING. Cutting is between 7" - 10" long. Epidendrum orchids thrive with medium to high light conditions. If you orchid is receiving the ideal amount of sunlight the foliage will be grassy green in color. If your plant is receiving too much light the leaves can start to turn a brownish-bronze color, and not enough light will cause the orchid to become very tall and will keep the plant from producing flowers. A great inside location to place your Epidendrum is on an eastern facing windowsill. Remember to not let the orchid receive direct sunlight because this could cause the orchid to get sunburned leaves. Epidendrum orchids should be watered regularly and abundantly. As a rule of thumb, you will want to water more frequently (approximately every 4-5 days) during the warmer months and less frequently (once a week) in the cooler months. You can help encourage bud growth by withholding water for about a month, however, make sure that your orchid remains happy. Epidendrums are intermediate to warm growers, depending on the particular variety. Those that come from higher elevations tend to do best with temperatures on the cooler side, and those that come from warmer regions will need warmer temperatures. Generally speaking, the average daytime temperature should range from 60°F to 90°F (15.6°C to 32.2°C) and average nighttime temperature should be between 50°F to 70°F (10C to 21.1°C). These orchids can even tolerate near-freezing temperatures for short periods of time.
