CARE GUIDE

How to keep Epidendrum Eburneum.

Water

Epidendrum eburneum prefers a consistently moist environment but can tolerate short periods of drought. In the summer, water it once a week. During the fall and winter, reduce watering to once every 10 days. To keep humidity levels high, mist the plant regularly. Use water with a neutral pH by letting it sit for a while. This allows dissolved carbon dioxide to escape before you use it for watering.

Pruning

In early spring, prune the Epidendrum eburneum to remove dead stems and promote bushier growth. Trim the old flower spikes to encourage new blooms, making sure to make clean cuts to prevent infection. Regular pruning improves air circulation, reduces the risk of disease, and enhances the plant's overall health and vitality.
