Epidendrum radicans

-

Crucifix orchid is a terrestria­l from central America. They come in a range of colours and sizes, and all have an incredibly long flowering period – for much of the year in the frost-free regions where they grow easily if you provide plenty of sun and a mounded soil rich in bark and grit for their aerial roots to perch on. They look great combined with lush foliage of phormiums, aloes and cycads. (Plantrescu­e.co.nz)
