ORANGE nine epidendrum radicans ground orchid 2 cuttings. About 8-10 inches. Cut stems are fresh cut day of shipping.
Epidendrum orchids contain more than 500 species of orchids including the reed-stem Epidendrum group. This variety of orchids grows wild in the tropical areas of the Americas. They grow outside in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 10. Reed-stem orchids are grown all year round in areas such as Hawaii, Southern Florida and Southern California, but are container bound in all other areas either indoors or in greenhouses. Stem cuttings is the most reliable way to propagate this variety of orchid.
Tray Preparation
Orchid propagation does not occur in regular soil, but in sphagnum moss or some other similar material. The material must hold water and let air circulate along the developing roots. Soak sphagnum moss in a bucket of room temperature water for a couple of hours. Keep adding water until the moss does not absorb any more liquid. Squeeze the moss so it is not dripping, but still wet. Fill a seed tray with the damp moss.
