[OGD] Rangaeris amaniensis (Kraenzl.) Summerh.

[viateur . boutot]

Michael, you asked : temperature ... preferences for Rangaeris amaniensis?
The species has been collected at altitudes ranging from 890 to 1900 m so 
it should do well at intermediate temperatures (18 to 30 degrees).

[OGD] Rangaeris amaniensis

[Clark T. Riley]

I have grown Rangaeris amaniensis for about 25 years on the same slab 
of tree fern. It is one of the toughest mounted orchids in my 
experience. It gets misted every morning inside during the Winter and 
spends the Summer outdoors. It just finished blooming for me. No 
special water and I've never intentionally fertilized it. I grow it 
close to my fluorescent lights in winter and in Summer, it's in the 
shade of an oriental persimmon -- fairly heavy. These are probably not 
optimum conditions but they work for me.

'African Orchids in the Wild and in Cultivation' .Plant is found in 
Eritrea, Ethiopia,Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda  Zimbabwe. They appear to 
grow in two distinct habitats, montane forest and open woodland 
1060-2600m altitude, intermediate temps,bright light and dryer period in 
winter.
Whoever was after the Hillerman and Holst book, I have just aquired one 
from Amazon, they did have another for sale at that time - 10 days ago.
