Oeniella polystachys is an Angraecoid species that lives in eastern Madagascar and the islands surrounding. It greatly resembles B. nodosa but has a vandaceous growth habit. They love high humidity especially during the hot months and thrive in well-lit bathrooms or near a humidifier. They can be grown potted or mounted. Not super picky about light and will adapt to medium levels of humidity. Compact, deliciously fragrant, and robust! If you've struggled with Angraecoids, this might be the one for you.

ANGRAECUM CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Fine bark or medium bark+sphagnum mix. Repot every 1-2 years as the media breaks down. Can be mounted on cork with sphagnum or tree fern but will need daily watering in hot months.

Light: Medium-low light. Window direction doesn't matter, but will need ample shade in South and West facing windows. Protect leaves from direct sun exposure. 

Water: Water frequently in hot months when media has reached dry. From Fall-early Spring watering should be scaled back to occasional morning misting to accommodate the dry rest period. High humidity during the hot months will help prevent the media from drying out too quickly. Water at the base of the plant to prevent crown rot.

Temp: Intermediate-warm (60F min night, 90F max day). 

Humidity: 60-90%, likes high humidity in hot months with good air circulation. Potted plants will acclimate to 45-55% humidity with adequate watering. 

Fertilizing: Light feeding year round. 1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Run clean room temperature tap water through the pot once monthly to prevent salt buildup. Decrease to every 3rd watering or less if leaf burning is observed.
