Chamaeangis vesicata, commonly known as the Rwanda orchid, is a fascinating species native to tropical regions of Africa. This orchid thrives in warm, humid environments with plenty of indirect light. It prefers to be kept in a location where it receives bright, filtered light but is protected from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. In terms of watering, Chamaeangis vesicata prefers consistently moist conditions but should never sit in water, as this can lead to root rot. Water the orchid when the top inch of the substrate feels dry, and ensure the pot has good drainage. The ideal temperature for this orchid is between 18°C and 25°C (64°F and 77°F), with cooler conditions at night. Humidity should be kept high, ideally between 60% and 80%, to mimic its native tropical habitat. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the orchid with a balanced, diluted orchid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks. In the winter, reduce feeding as the plant enters a resting phase.
