Description

Porroglossum sergii

Name: Porroglossum sergii P. Ortiz

Synonyms: Porroglossum sergioi P. Ortiz

Etymology: The epithet sergii honors Padre Sergio Restrepo from Medellín, Colombia, who collected the species.

First description: The species was described by P. Ortiz in 1975.

Origin / Habitat: Colombia, in Andean cloud forests at approximately 2,050 m. It grows epiphytically on moss-covered branches and twigs.

Description & Care: Small orchid with upright inflorescences up to approximately 20–25 cm long, at the end of which several individual flowers may appear sequentially. The flowers grow to approximately 2 cm in size. We cultivate it in shaded to bright indirect light, with high humidity and good air circulation. We keep the substrate evenly moist and do not allow it to dry out completely. We keep it cool, at approximately 12–20 °C.
