Angraecum didieri

[Oscarman]

This a wonderful species from Angreacum. Having killed 2 of them, I can attest to their sensitivity to poor water quality. This was mentioned somewhere further in the thread. They like it pure! R/O, rain water and the like. The root dieback is your first sign and it doesn't take long from there to RIP!

Yes I agree......... Mine only gets Rain water... but
mine lost a 'super' new root (1.5 inches) in the care of carers when I was away for 7 weeks this last december.. it did not turn black but just became hollow.
I am lucky my plant has continued to grow leaves and a new root and I have a frozen bud... The "trick" as usual is check those roots and make sure some are functional.... the rest follows..patience is needed..

Ok, didn't know that. That may be the reason why I lost mine. Darn.
