Angraecum petterssonianum

An obscure Angraecum described from Rwanda in 1990, with no wild records in GBIF and no published cultivation notes found. Treat it as an intermediate-temperature African montane epiphyte: mild days, cool nights, humid air and bright shade.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in Rwandan montane forest, as is usual for African Angraecum; no habitat notes for this species were found.

Unknown; the one climate site used sits at about 1580 m. Rwanda's forests span roughly 1500–2500 m.
