Angraecum scottianum

Several related genera are also worth seeking out. Aerangis (AIR-ANG-iss) and Aeranthes (AIR-ANTare very similar to Angraecuin in both culture and appearance.

CULTURE

To succeed with this genus, remember two things. Hirst, they relish warm, very humid conditions during spring and summer, with a slightly cooler and drier rest period in winter. Second, they are rather slow to reestablish after root loss caused by careless repotting or some other trauma. The first two plants I received were compromised from the start and very slow to recover, which-unjustly-gave me a bad taste for the genus until I tried again a few years later with healthy plants. You may have to pay a bit more for a well-established Angraecum, but you will not be disappointed. Many species are rather small, and they do very well in the humidity of a light box or enclosed room as well as a greenhouse; their need for humidity makes them a poor choice for a windowsill.
