Angraecum stolzii

A small epiphytic Angraecum of the montane forests of southern Tanzania and northern Malawi, recorded at about 1,900–2,250 m. Little is published on it; treat it as a cool-growing, shaded epiphyte that wants constant humidity and a drier, cooler rest from May to October.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic in montane forest; specific host or microhabitat details are not published in sources reachable here, so this follows the genus in East African highland forest.

Recorded at 1,900–2,250 m (4 records); two of the climate sites are much lower, at 896 and 1,180 m.
