Epidendrum filiforme

[bitis78]

Hi all,

I've just been given two beautiful healthy plants of Epidendrum filiforme. Only trouble is, I can't find any info on them.

Does anyone know anything that might help me care for them properly?

Thanks in advance!
Andrew.

I think the tag may be wrong on those...they're probably Dendrochilum filiforme
Do they look anything like this?

Hi Susanne,

Thanks, but unfortunately, it isn't that easy. These are definitely reed-stemmed Epidendrum... It's a known species, but it seems to be a little-known species. I've asked the person I got them from for more info - so here's hopin'.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Very interesting! Please keep us updated on this one...I checked filiforme in Orchidwiz and there are none listed as Epidendrum
