Description
This beautiful and compact species is native to native to Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Brazil.
Aganisia cyanea is found in very wet, lowland rainforests in northern South America growing on lower sections of the trunks of large trees. The plants can be submerged underwater during monsoons for short periods of the day over several weeks due to flooding in their habitat with no apparent harm. We have line bread these for several generations to attain the best blue coloration.
Since they like moisture, we grow them in sphagnum moss and water them frequently. They also like to grow on the warm side, and seem to do just fine with our Phalaenopsis. This species can also hybridize with Zygopetalum, creating compact and easy-to-grow intergenerics with colorful flowers! These plants can flower two to three times per year and the flowers last for 4-6 weeks,
