Anguloa clowesii Culture

Anguloa clowesii, also known as the "cradle orchid" or "tulip orchid," is a medium to large-sized terrestrial orchid. It is found at altitudes of 1800 to 2500 meters on mountain slopes. The plant is semi-deciduous, losing its leaves in the fall/winter.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid excessive direct sunlight.
  • Temperature: Cool to moderate conditions, 65-80°F (18-27°C) during day, 50-59°F (10-15°C) at night.
  • Humidity: High humidity around 70%, especially during growing season.
  • Watering: Keep moist but well-draining during spring/summer. Reduce watering significantly in fall/winter when leaves drop. Avoid overwatering in winter to prevent fungus. 

Additional Notes

  • Floral Characteristics: This orchid produces a single, large, waxy, tulip-shaped flower on an erect spike. The flowers are bright yellow and have a sweet, pleasant fragrance. The shape of the flowers, with the sepals and petals curved inward, gives it the appearance of a cradle, hence its common name.
