Angraecum conchoglossum, Schlechter, 1918




 
Geographical origin: 
 
Madagascar
Epiphytic orchids on mossy branches, in evergreen humid forests.

Highlands  Center from to North (1000-1600m): Montagne d'Ambre, Ambondrombe, Anjozorobe...  
 
 
Culture :

Of an average size, but being able to make numerous keikis and presenting naturally a hanging shape, this plant will grow more easily if it is mounted on a piece of bark. It needs temperatures moderated to hot, with however a notable refreshment in winter, especially at night, and will prefer a bright exposure, but without direct sun. Angraecum with fine roots, it will be necessary to watch that they never dry too long, so you can add sphagnum or moss on the piece of bark Blooming in autumn under our latitudes
