Angreacum crestwood

Got this a few years ago as a present in a 4" pot.



First time flowering, great scent, should grow into large specimen with lots of flowers

I just saw a bunch of these at the show here in Ft Lauderdale. They definitely are striking plants, and it will have more blooms as it gets bigger. I also saw someplace there was a mutant form with 2 up curved nectaries instead of 1 down curved.

How do you treat your plant? I just got a sesquipedale and it has obviously been at war with the fungus. So far I've repotted it because it was top heavy and treated it with garlicwater and uncoated aspirin, the rot seemed to stop almost instantly, but I've been keeping it outside as long as the temp is above 57 degrees and i'm not sure if that's the right range....

This plant and many others are in my greenhouse, well controlled. I will spray Physan solution monthly,I use cinnamon for crown rot, which I don't get much of because I water in morning, plants are dry by night. I find that Angs hate being repotted so mount them if you can keep moist and humid, pot them in a long lasting mix and large enough pot to last a couple years. If you look at my Angreacum veitchii on this board, the pot that plant is in won't be changed for 2 more years at least.
