Angraecum distichum

Angraecum distichum is a charming miniature orchid prized for its distinctive foliage and delicate white flowers. Small, overlapping leaves line slender, branching stems in neat rows, creating a lush, textured plant that becomes especially attractive as it fills its basket. Tiny white blooms appear among the leaves, adding a subtle touch of beauty to this unusual African species.

Growing information

• Light: Low to moderate, filtered light. Protect from strong direct sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm conditions, ideally around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged chilling.
• Water: Water thoroughly and regularly, keeping the roots lightly moist without leaving them soggy. Avoid prolonged drying, and adjust watering to your temperature, airflow, and growing medium.
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity, approximately 60–80%, with gentle, consistent air movement.
• Growing medium: Use an airy, moisture-retentive orchid mix in a small basket or pot. Mounted plants need more frequent watering and consistently humid conditions.
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer at one-quarter strength every two to four weeks during active growth. Flush with plain water regularly to help prevent salt buildup.

A lovely choice for growers who enjoy miniature orchids and can provide steady moisture and humidity.
