Epidendrum radicans— Fire-Star Orchid, Reed-Stem Orchid, Rainbow Orchid, or Crucifix Orchid

Tough, tropical, and on fire—this orchid blooms like it means it! A sun-loving beauty with wild colour and wild energy. Not your typical diva orchid—this one’s here to thrive. 🔥🌈

Plant Care
Light: Give it lots of light! Full sun to bright indirect is best. Outdoors in summer? Perfect. Indoors? Pop it in your sunniest window.

Watering: Water when the top layer of soil feels dry. It likes moisture but drains fast—don’t let it stay soggy. Water more often in hot months and reduce in winter.

Temperature: Warm temps please—ideally 15–28°C. It can handle cooler nights but hates frost. Bring it indoors if temps drop too low.

Potting: Loves a well-draining mix with airflow around the roots. Our A Sandy Loam mix works brilliantly—loose, airy, and not too moisture-retentive. You can also pot it slightly deeper to support those ground-hugging roots.

Hot tips: Blooms like mad when it’s happy! Feed monthly in the growing season with a balanced orchid fertiliser. Propagates easily from stem cuttings if you want to spread the love.

Pet Friendly: YES
