Andinia spiralis Culture

Andinia spiralis is a miniature, cool to cold-growing epiphyte. This species is known for its creeping habit and delicate foliage, making it a charming addition to a collection.

  • Light: Prefers low to medium, indirect light. Avoid any direct sunlight, which can easily damage the leaves.
  • Temperature: Cool to cold growing conditions are essential, with a temperature range of 10-18°C (50-65°F) during the day and 7-13°C (45-55°F) at night.
  • Humidity: High humidity, between 70-80%, is crucial to its well-being, replicating its native cloud forest environment.
  • Watering: The substrate should be kept consistently moist but never soggy. Using a well-draining mix and allowing for slight drying between waterings is recommended.

Additional Notes

  • Floral Characteristics: This orchid has one small flower, translucent and ranging from yellow-green to yellow-orange, with a short stem. Its key feature is the tightly coiled, spiral synsepal, which inspired the species name.
