CULTURE:
This plant require shady positions and initiate flower shoots even grown at very low light levels. They should be protected from the direct sun. The ideal photoperiod is 12 hours. Strong air movement should be ensured all the time.
This species needs a humidity level of 75-80% for most of the year. For 4 months of late winter and spring the humidity drops to about 65-70%.
Growing on rootstocks best suits the hanging inflorescences of this species. If Aerangis citrata is attached, it requires frequent spraying, otherwise it slowly dehydrates. Therefore, they are usually grown in small pots with excellent drainage or baskets, using a very permeable and fast-drying substrate such as a mix with fine fir bark.
Plants should be repotted when the substrate begins to decompose. Repotting is better done when new roots start to appear.

Cultivated plants should be watered strongly during the period of active growth (in the period from late spring to autumn), but the roots must always dry quickly after watering.

Fertilize every week 1/4-1/2 of the recommended dose of fertilizer for orchids. A fertilizer with a high nitrogen content is beneficial from spring to mid-summer, and a fertilizer richer in phosphorus should be used in late summer and autumn
