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 with stems that do not develop swollen pseudobulbs; instead, they are covered by overlapping sheaths that extend to the basal area of the inflorescence inserted at the apex.\u003cbr\u003eAs is characteristic of the subgenus, the presence of a labellum adnate (fused) to the column toward its apex can be observed. The labellum is trilobed, as in other members of the Schistochila section, with lacerated lobes typical of the Carinata and Tuberculata subsections. \u003cbr\u003eThe chromosome number of an individual collected in Ecuador was determined to be 2n = 60. However, other data indicate values of 2n = 40, 2n = 57, 2n = 62, and 2n = 64 for this species. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight including pot: approx. 30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis variety repeatedly reflowers on the same flower spike—do not remove spent flower spikes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: The specimens in stock also have leaves with defects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 16px 18px; background: #f0f7f0; border-left: 5px solid #2e7d32; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick care guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.2em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e plenty of light; gentle morning sun or bright filtered light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e water when the surface of the growing medium begins to dry; do not allow water to stagnate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e it can stay outdoors in summer after acclimatization, but protect it from prolonged cold and frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing medium and stems:\u003c\/strong\u003e airy mix with good drainage; do not cut the aerial roots or green stems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e during the growing season, apply diluted \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/secretgarden.ro\/products\/fertilizant-premium-pentru-orhidee\" style=\"color: #2e7d32; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eorchid fertilizer\u003c\/a\u003e; do not fertilize completely dry growing medium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0;\"\u003eFor detailed explanations about flowering, repotting, and problems, read the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/secretgarden.ro\/blogs\/plant-care\/epidendrum-radicans\" style=\"font-weight: 600; color: #2e7d32;\"\u003ecomplete Epidendrum radicans guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Floraria Secret Garden (SG)","offers":[{"title":"without flowers, random color - 9 cm pot","offer_id":57336471126342,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5551\/3798\/files\/0869D2B4-17F0-4898-A955-2C8B02B4324A.jpg?v=1771946467","url":"https:\/\/secretgarden.ro\/en-sk\/products\/epidendrum-radicans-mix","provider":"Secret Garden Plant Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
