Angraecum rubellum

A small epiphytic Angraecum of the humid evergreen forests of eastern Madagascar, recorded mostly at 500–1100 m. Little is published on this species, so grow it like other small mid-elevation Malagasy angraecoids: shaded, constantly humid, warm days and noticeably cooler winter nights.
