Naming

The name of this genus stems from the Greek verb "Enkykleomai" (circling), which refers to the sidewalks of the lip, which circles the gynostemium.

Origin

Encyclia is a gender with around 150 species spread by Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico and other areas of tropical America. They are epiphytic species that occur in lowland forests up to a height of 1000 meters. Most species in this genus can be found in forests with drying seasons. The humidity is usually high all year round in these forests, even though there is little rainfall.

Characterize

Most species have stiff, drought -resistant leaves and large onion -shaped pseudobulben. The flowers arise from an apical inflorescence. This gender is pollinated by bees and birds. There are usually eight pollen lumps, but only four in some subgroups. One type, encyclia cyperifolia, produces cylindrical, cone -shaped leaves.

Popular species

One of the most sought after species of encyclia is the encyclia Mariae x Citrina. With the green -yellow petals and the citrus -like scent, this is a special orchid with a typical appearance. In addition, the Encyclia Cordigera is a popular species due to the striking contrast between the colors of the petals and the lip of the flower.
A number of other popular crossings are the Encyclia Jairak Treasure, Encyclia Cochleata (Squid Orchid) and the Encyclia Lancifolia x Epicattleya Miva Etoile (beautiful dark purple, strongly scented flowers in the shape of an ink fish).

Care

The encyclia is known for its easy care, possibility of crossing with other sexes and the special flower shapes that occur in this orchid sex. The only thing the plants need a little more attention is to give water, but even this is relatively easy. When the substrate is on the dry side in the entire pot, water can be given again. Most species love a lot of indirect sunlight. In addition, it is important that there is enough ventilation (not a trip) to give no chance of harmful fungi and bacteria, among other things. In terms of food, they need an even NPK dose. Watch out with too much food, because this can cause damage to the plant. The temperature is also an important factor for encyclias. In general, they are allowed in a temperature during the day from 20 degrees Celsius and at night the temperature can cool 5-10 degrees Celsius to stimulate growth and flowering. Above 30 degrees Celsius, careful with water management and ventilation and high humidity are very important. It is better to avoid extremely high temperatures. A minimal humidity of 60% makes the encyclia a happy orchid.
