I need some advice about an orchid I have purchased, a variety I know absolutely nothing about. These three plants are Oerstedella centradenia, a reed stem Epidendrum. Several of the plants are in bloom and the flowers grow in clusters on the reed stems. The flowers are really tiny, approximately 1/2-3/4" in diameter. All the plants are mounted on cork.
Notice the two pictures of the multiple, 4-8" roots that grow off a section of the stem(s).
Does anyone have experience in growing this compact/miniature orchid?
Is the care of these orchids any different than the cattleya alliance?
Do I propagate this plant by sectioning the reed stem just below the cluster of roots and pot it/mount it?
