Epiphytes are not that abundant close to the Amazon coast near Bragança, possibly due to a more pronounced dry season and to deforestation, which started very early over here. However, we manage to cultivate a couple of native epiphytes like bromeliads and aroids, mainly from the remaining inundated forests. By squishing the fruits and putting the sticky seeds in cracks in the bark of trees, we even manage to propagate them.

More on the mystery #Hydnophytum species at #botanicalGardens #Copenhagen,
without tag.

At first i thought H. moseleyanum -
overlooking that the group might be two species in fact,
one with round leaves (H. moseleyanum?),
one with slimmer elongated leaves (H. formicarum?).
The fruit might shed light.

Although, although ... last picture shows both leaf forms on one plant?

Five key extinction risks facing the world’s plants and fungi, Kew report

"Plants are currently going extinct 500 times faster than before humans existed"

"Almost half of flowering plant species are under threat."

"By carting species around the world and losing unique threatened species, we are making regions that were once really distinct much more similar, so we are blurring the edges of our global biogeographical regions.”

any tips for fertilizing plants that are mostly or entirely in the air?

i have some #vanilla plants that are crawling their way through the forest. i have no idea where they touch the ground, but they have plenty of air roots.

i was thinking of fertilizing them, but realized i don't know what to do. maybe a mist or spray bottle? but then what goes in the bottle? at what concentration?

thanks in advance!

i wish i remembered where this epiphyte (tree-growing) orchid came from! i do remember that it was growing bare-rooted, so i just set it down on top of a pallet fence (in a mostly shade environment) & it has thrived.

this is the first time it's flowering! i often pick up stray orchids & they usually don't have flowers, so it's always a fun surprise when i finally get to see the flowers! and these ones are no exception. such interestingly-shaped flowers!
