Angraecum Lemforde White Beauty is a tropical orchid hybrid prized for its impressive, snowy-white blooms. This cultivar is notable for producing large, long-spurred flowers—measuring 10 to 12 cm wide—from the base of mature plants, often in the cooler months.
Distinctive Features
Floral Structure: Each bloom displays a unique star-shaped form with a prominent spur, a trait inherited from its Madagascar parentage.
Bloom Size: Flowers reach up to 12 cm across, making them among the more impressive in the genus.
Growth Habit: Typically upright and compact, it develops a woody stem and thick aerial roots in suitable humidity.
Care Tips
Light: Requires bright light indoors, ideally a sunny windowsill; outdoors, partial shade is preferred with good airflow.
Water: Water regularly during active growth; reduce slightly in cooler months while avoiding complete dryness.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity—above 60% is ideal for optimum growth and flowering.
Media: Use a chunky orchid mix with excellent drainage—fine bark, perlite, and charcoal are suitable components.
Temperature: Thrives between 18–28 °C; protect from chills below 10 °C during winter.
Fertiliser: Use a balanced orchid fertiliser fortnightly in spring and summer, tapering off in winter.
Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when the medium breaks down; handle aerial roots with care.
