Angraecum conchoglossum treated outcross #93416 (approximately 25 seedlings per flask). I have found this species to be easy to grow in the greenhouse, but rather difficult to grow in flask. These seedlings have been treated to alter the chromosome count. This does not guarantee that they will be 4N. For more information go to Ploidy. The Species: Angraecum conchoglossum is from the islands of Madagascar and Reunion on mossy branches in evergreen forest. It is found at elevations from 3300 to 6600 feet where it grows as an epiphyte. The inflorescence carries a single flower with a long spur. It blooms from the spring through fall. With age, this species will make keikis for an impressive specimen plant. Culture: This species is recommended to have a growing season intermediate to warm and winter in the intermediate to cool. I grow mine year round in a warm greenhouse. It does best with good humity. I'm still not really sure if this is pendant or upright in nature. When I grow it in a pot it leans over as the growth gets longer. When I have mounted it, it seems to grow upright. If you want to grow it potted, keep in mind that it will hang down as it grows. It is a fine rooted species and should not be allowed to stay dry for any extended period of time. Potted I have grown it well in a fine bark mix that just approaches dryness before watering again. Mounted it gets daily water for most of the year with dilute fertilizer. Two representative Angraecum conchoglossum
