Angraecum didieri, also known as Didier’s Angraecum, is a captivating miniature orchid species native to the humid evergreen forests of Madagascar. This is a smaller version of the famous "Darwin's Orchid," and perfect for collectors and enthusiasts with limited space. The Angraecum didieri is prized for its elegant, star-shaped white blooms and intriguing fragrance which only comes out at night, characteristic of many white orchids whose main pollinators are moths.

Care instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates direct morning or evening sun but should be shielded from harsh midday rays.

Water: Water every 7–10 days, allowing the top inch of the medium to dry out between waterings. Mounted plants may require more frequent misting.

Humidity: Thrives at 50–70% humidity (ideally up to 80%). Low humidity can inhibit growth and cause leaf or root issues.

Temperature: Enjoys intermediate to warm conditions—daytime 70–95°F (21–35°C), nighttime 60–70°F (16–21°C). Maintain a nighttime drop of at least 5°C (9°F).

Potting/Substrate: Best grown in a well-draining orchid mix (bark, perlite, sphagnum moss) or mounted on cork or tree fern. Roots benefit from exposure to air and should not remain soggy.

Fertilizer: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 30-10-10) every 4–6 weeks during active growth in spring and summer.

Grown in 3" pots, some are starting to spike.
