Sudamerlycaste cinnabarina

Native to Andean montane forests, including those of Ecuador, this botanical orchid produces sculptural flowers on individual stems emerging near the base. Its distinctive floral form makes it an appealing addition to a cool-growing orchid collection.

  • Light: Moderate to bright, filtered light in a shaded greenhouse or near an east-facing window. Protect from intense midday sun.
  • Temperature: Cool-growing to intermediate, with days of 60–75°F (16–24°C) and nights of 50–60°F (10–16°C). Avoid prolonged heat.
  • Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with steady, gentle air circulation.
  • Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist during active growth, allowing the surface to begin drying between waterings. Reduce watering as growth slows, without letting the pseudobulbs shrivel severely. Always provide thorough drainage.

Additional Notes:

Forms substantial clumps of pseudobulbs with broad, pleated leaves. Allow room for new growth and avoid wetting tender shoots when watering. Repot as new roots emerge, using an airy orchid mix that retains some moisture, and feed lightly during active growth.
