Angraecum curvicaule

A Madagascan epiphytic Angraecum described by Schlechter in 1925, known from humid mid-elevation forest at about 1,000–1,300 m. Little is published about it in cultivation. Grow it like other intermediate, shade-loving Angraecum: humid, shaded, with steady moisture and cooler, slightly drier winters.
