Angraecum
equitans
These are native
to northwest Madagascar; the Sambirano valley around Mount Tsaratanana.
Please refer to our culture information on Angraecum breve. At this writing,
it is January and our plants are exhibiting the typical signs of slight
dehydration. This species does not seem to respond to attempts to provide
additional moisture during its resting period. Potting in clay with a
fast draining medium would possibly help this condition but it just seems
to have an annual cycle where the leaves plump up during the growing season
and shrivel slightly during its resting period. In our experience, equitans
is happy in intermediate to warm conditions, not just the cool to cold
temperatures that some would claim.
