Epidendrum radicans - exemplar unicat (2 culori)

Epidendrum radicans is a ground orchid species, commonly called "Rainbow Orchid" or "Fire Star Orchid."
A special feature of this genus of orchids is the tendency to spread its roots along the entire length of the stem. It is found in Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, and Colombia. Like other members of the subgenus Amphioglottium, radicans is a sympodial species that has stems which do not develop thickened pseudobulbs, but these are covered by overlapping sheaths that extend to the basal area of the inflorescence inserted at the top.
Particularly notable for the subgenus is the presence of a labellum fused with the column towards its apex. The labellum is three-lobed, as in other members of the Schistochila section, with jagged lobes typical of the Carinata and Tuberculata subsections.

Height including pot: 50 cm
Pot diameter: 15 cm

This variety blooms repeatedly on the same stem - do not remove stems with faded flowers.
