Den. macrum culture

[LeeB]

On a recent trip to Ecuador I purchased 2 Den. macrums from Ecuagenera. (Wonderful vendor). I need some help with their culture. I'm growing them in a cool terrarium with a reptile fogger, T5 light, & fan. 1 has died already.

TIA, LeeB

Look it up at orchidspecies.com, the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia. The correct name is Den. isochiloides. It's a warm to hot growing plant from lowland tropics. It isn't happy in a cold terrarium.

I look up all unfamiliar species at IOSPE before buying them.

Thank you. I'll follow your advice.

Are you sure it isn't an epidendrum macrum? I have one from Ecuagenera, it is listed on their site. Den macrum is not

[LeeB]

My mistake. You are correct. Epi. macrum.

Epi. macrum would like lots of air circulation, very bright light and plenty of water.
