Angraecum astroarche

A little-known epiphytic Angraecum of the Gulf of Guinea islands, described only recently and rarely seen in cultivation. Grow it like other small West African forest angraecums: warm, humid, shaded, with a brief slightly drier spell in the island's dry season.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte in humid island forest; details beyond the original description are scarce, so habitat is inferred from related Gulf of Guinea Angraecum.

No recorded elevations; the climate point is a coastal region centroid on Bioko, and the plant may well grow higher up in cooler forest.
