Culture :
Temperate to warm, this Aerangis will better grow if it is mounted, so its spikes would naturally "fall".
This Aerangis appreciate a high hygrometry, and regular watering with fertilizer during the growing seasons (Spring and Summer) and a moderate light.
Less watering during Autumn and Winter, but never completely stop them. This Aerangis doesn't any resting period.

If you grow this Aerangis in a greenhouse, you can mount it directly on a bark or on a piece of wood,, with no sphagnum.
It is better if the roots can quickly dry after each watering.
If you want to have in in pot, use a substrat with little pine bark and really a few sphagnum.
