A primary hybrid of Lths. calodictyon × Lths. tentaculata, producing large, orbicular leaves with a bold reticulated pattern in rich tones of green, purple, and rose — a combination that makes this hybrid one of the most ornamental in the genus even without flowers. Small blooms emerge directly from the leaf surface, adding a delicate floral accent to the already spectacular foliage.
Additional Notes
Excellent mounted on cork bark to showcase the ornamental foliage, or grown in a net pot with fine sphagnum moss. A closed terrarium or enclosed glass container makes an excellent environment for this hybrid, though it can also thrive in any humid, well-ventilated setup. Ships bare root, well-established.
This has proven to be a surprisingly durable little plant. It traveled well during a long shipping voyage and has adapted to my relatively dry orchidarium.
Picked up this plant three weeks ago and it was a bit stressed (no surprise since it was shipped in summer and had gotten a bit dry). In a terrarium now, and while it hasn't shown new growth yet, it's looking pretty good.
Beautiful packing job to keep it moist enough during shipping and yet not rot the leaves. It did drop a few after arrival, but looks like it's got new growth.
Came in a good size and still thriving almost a month later
This one suffered in shipping, drying out too much, and lost all (5) mature leaves, retaining only 3 tiny, 1/4 inch original leaves. At 3 weeks, it is growing 3 new stems. Mature leaves were around 1 inch. Growing in a terrarium with LED lighting at about 700 fc. Keeping constantly damp, with humidity between 65-85%, and air circulation provided by a mini fan.
