The name "Encyclia cordigera white" would likely indicate that it's a variation of Encyclia cordigera with white flowers. Care requirements would generally align with those of Encyclia orchids, including bright but indirect light, proper humidity, and a well-draining growing medium.
Blooming or near blooming sized plant with six pseudobulbs total and new growth coming. No mechanical damage suffered during shipping.
The bad news: this plant has a very bad case of root rot. All old roots are dead and the whole plant was coated in a thin layer of algae, worst around the pseudobulbs. The media did not smell bad to me, but the pseudobulbs (or whatever was growing on them) smelled of rot. The pseudobulbs are wrinkled but still firm, so likely will be okay given some time and extra care.
I’m giving 4 stars because the plant is alive and has potential, but I expected it to recover a bit better after arrival. I still appreciate the quality and the care in packaging, and I hope it will continue to improve with time.
Nice healthy plant…looking forward to seeing it bloom.
I have ordered from Ecuagenera several times and the orchids are well packed and in good health, often larger plants that I expected!
