Acemannia Linear Spots

Acineta Linear Spots Culture:

Successful cultivation of this fragrant orchid hybrid requires attention to the following aspects, based on the needs of its parent genera:

  • Light: Prefers shaded to semi-shaded conditions. Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures, aligning with the typical habitats of both parent genera.
  • Humidity: Requires high humidity, especially considering the epiphytic nature of Acineta and the cloud forest origins of many Lueddemannia.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage and allow for some air movement around the roots. The frequency will depend on the substrate and environment.
  • Substrate: Typically prefers a well-draining substrate suitable for epiphytes or semi-terrestrials, such as a bark mix, sphagnum moss, or a combination thereof.

Additional Notes:

  • This is a hybrid resulting from the cross between Acineta superba and Lueddemannia striata, is strongly expected to inherit fragrance from both parents, potentially creating a unique and appealing scent. 
  • The growth habit might be somewhat intermediate, potentially with the robust pseudobulbs of Acineta and the tendency for pendant inflorescences.
