Aerangis biloba ( in bloom )
Presenting : Aerangis biloba
This is a small species from Western and Central Africa found growing as an epiphytic in shady forests and thickets. I grow this in intermediate conditions, (65F) with high humidity 90%(sprayed in the morning and near the humidifier). It grows best mounted and my preference is tree fern, although other growers prefer cork bark. I discovered that this species tend to get leaf burn quite easily if the leaves are wet and gets under direct sunlight; so I avoid any direct sun.
This is its first time bloom and I am lucky to have three 2 inches flowers that looks like its edges were eaten by bugs, maybe its a mechanical thing. I thought the buds would blast because it got weird bud colors.
I don't know what it means but its two-lobed...referring maybe to the leaves
