“The Pear-Shaped Encyclia”

Fragrant Encyclia species native to Cuba, with sweetly-scented flowers reminiscent of chocolate.

Plants Available: Driftwood or tree fern mounted clumps comparable in size to the plant pictured.

Orchid Care: Grow bright and dry. Water often while plants are actively growing, but allow plants to dry between. The roots should not stay wet for extended periods. Curb watering in the cooler months when plants are expending less energy. Mounting is a good way to prevent overwatering and ensure adequate air circulation to the roots.
