Epidendrum stamfordianum is a robust epiphytic orchid from Central America that prefers bright indirect light and warm, humid conditions with good airflow. Water consistently during active growth and reduce watering in winter, ensuring the roots dry slightly between waterings. Mount on bark or grow in a coarse, free-draining orchid mix for best results.
