Angraecum cucullatum or Ang. cucullatum x Ang. scottianum

[radiofreekirkwood]

I purchased this plant as Angraecum cucullatum. From the flowers and foliage, I tend to imagine that the plant is really Angraecum cucullatum x Angraecum scottianum, but I could be wrong.

It was originally mounted, but I couldn't supply the necessary humidity. I moved it to medium bark and charcoal and he seemed to do pretty well. I have recently been blessed with two flowers and thought that I might share.

I've been winging it when it comes to culture, but so far it has been very forgiving: bark medium, medium light on the bright side of Phal-light.

Lovely. Is it as mini as it looks?

That's definitely the hybrid. I think it's called Ang. Joyce Stewart or something like that now. The real Ang. cucullatum is quite rare. I've only seen it offered once in the time I've been collecting Angs.

Yes I would agree with Goods - this is definitely the cross. Very cute!

Another beautiful Angraecum! Thank you for sharing! I look forward very much to the day I get my first Ang blooms. : )

J: It's pretty small. The pot is 4-inches (10cm) in diameter, to give perspective, and the flowers are about 2 inches (5cm) across.

Goods, Calvin: thank you for the confirmation. I assumed that to be the case, but wasn't sure. The rarity that you alluded to might be why the I haven't found that much info on cucullatum.

Leafmite: thank you and best of luck with your Ang!
