Angraecum sesquipedale growth

[Roberta]

Totally opposite of Angcm. sesquipedale: small, relatively-fast growing, extremely floriforous, blooms multiple times per year - Angcm. distichum. It also has very interesting, succulent leaves - attractive also when not in bloom.

Angraecum germinyaum - really interesting flowers.

Angraecum viguieri - failry large flowers, adds a bit of color.

(Just a few standouts)

Thanks, Roberta! I’m familiar with the Angraecum germinyaum and have that on my short list. I also really like the Angraecum eburneum var. superbum

Roberta, I looked up the Angraecum viguieri. Wow! I really like it. It would require a different set of growing conditions from my other plants as it prefers to stay much cooler, but what an interesting Angraecum. I did read that they are incredibly challenging to grow. It is now on my radar!

I'd consider A. viguieri a "warm grower" ... everything is relative. I think pretty much the same as A. sesquipedale. (My situation is binary... either outside or in greenhouse, that one is "in greenhouse") It is not as as easy as some of the others (my long-term success on it wasn't great, lasted a few years), but it sure is pretty and I'd get another if it jumped out in front of me.

An update: I now have a third new root and a new leaf while the plant in general continues to grow taller quickly. I’m so fortunate to have got a such a good one!

Hi There

I am new to this site and I hope you don’t mind me hijacking this thread but…….
I have an Angraecum Eburnam but it has developed two dark spots on one of the leaves.
The outer edges of the spots are lighter than the centres and I am really worried there is something wrong with it
Can anyone help as I don’t want to lose it

First, Welcome to the Board. Second... I suggest that you start a new thread. (Just click on the blue button on the upper left of the Forum area). While supposedly one has to make 5 posts to upload a photo, I have seen photos from newer members. At any rate, it is easy to get to 5 posts. You can introduce yourself by starting a new thread in the Break the Ice forum which will bring you to 2, if you start a new thread in the Beginner forum, that will be 3...

Then, the more that you can say about your growing conditions (light, temperature, etc., anything that has changed, how long you have had the plant...), the better the advice you receive will be.

Thank you
