  Reed-stem Epidendrum
Many reed-stem epidendrums are susceptible to a leaf spotting fungus that causes round brown spots on the undersides of the leaves, but which does not seen to adversely affect the health or flowering of the plant.
Epidendrum raniferum (Mexico to Central America) and Epidendrum pfavii (Costa Rica and Panama) are two species that produce upright canes to 4 feet, with pendulous heads of flowers that emerge on the same canes year after year (so do not cut them).
Reed-stem epidendrums pay many dividends in the garden or greenhouse; they are easy to care for, affordable, widely available, tolerant of diverse growing conditions and are robust growers with many flowers in every color of the rainbow.

For Epidendrum cinnabarinum, and Oerstedella and their hybrids, it is best to choose a fast draining mix of one part medium bark, one part fine bark, and one part perlite and replace the medium every 12 to 18 months.
