Other Names For Epidendrum Orchids
Epidendrum, Reed-Stem Orchid, Crucifix Orchid, Epidendrum radicans, Epidendrum ibaguense, Epidendrum nocturnum, Epidendrum secundum.
Note that Epidendrum is a true botanical genus rather than a broad commercial grouping. Unlike “Cambria” orchids, which cover multiple intergeneric hybrids, Epidendrums are more clearly defined, though they include a wide range of species and hybrids within the genus. Common names such as “Reed-Stem Orchid” or “Crucifix Orchid” are often used to describe their upright growth habit and flower shape, particularly in popular garden and indoor varieties.
Caring For Your Epidendrum Orchid
Lighting
Epidendrum orchids prefer bright light and can tolerate more direct sun than many indoor orchids. A south or west-facing window works well, with several hours of gentle direct sunlight each day. They thrive in brighter conditions than Phalaenopsis, and insufficient light is one of the main reasons they fail to flower.
Watering
Water regularly, allowing the top of the orchid compost or bark mix to dry slightly between waterings.
In warmer months, this is typically every 4–7 days, while in cooler conditions it may be closer to 7–10 days. Epidendrums are more tolerant of slight drying than many orchids, but should never sit in waterlogged compost. Always ensure good drainage.
Humidity
Epidendrums are relatively adaptable and will grow well in average indoor humidity (40–60%).
They don’t require high humidity like some tropical orchids, but will benefit from occasional misting or a pebble tray in very dry environments.
Temperature
These orchids are comfortable in typical home conditions.
Aim for 18°C to 27°C during the day, with a slight drop at night if possible. They are more tolerant of warmer temperatures than many orchids, making them well suited to indoor growing in the UK.
Fertilisation
Feed regularly during active growth to support flowering.
Use a balanced orchid fertiliser every 1–2 weeks in spring and summer, diluted to avoid build-up. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows. Consistent feeding is key to encouraging repeat blooms.
Repotting
Repot every 1–2 years, or when the orchid bark mix begins to break down.
Use a free-draining orchid compost or bark mix, and avoid overpotting — Epidendrums prefer a snug root system with good airflow. Remove any dead roots and refresh the mix to keep the plant healthy.
About Epidendrum Orchids
Epidendrum is a large and diverse genus of orchids that includes both species and hybrids, rather than a commercial hybrid group like Cambria. These orchids are found naturally across Central and South America, where they grow in a range of environments from tropical forests to more open, sun-exposed conditions. Epidendrums can be epiphytic (growing on trees), terrestrial (growing in the ground), or lithophytic (growing on rocks), making them one of the more adaptable orchid types.
The genus includes well-known species such as Epidendrum radicans, Epidendrum ibaguense and Epidendrum secundum, which are widely grown for their clusters of smaller, brightly coloured blooms. Unlike intergeneric hybrid groups, Epidendrum orchids are taxonomically defined, although many modern plants available for sale are selected hybrids bred for colour, vigour and reliable flowering.
The name Epidendrum comes from the Greek meaning “upon trees”, reflecting the natural habit of many species. Today, Epidendrums are valued as bright-light, free-flowering orchids, offering a more relaxed and abundant display compared to larger-flowered indoor orchid varieties.
