Lepanthes escobariana x Lepanthes niesseniae

A floriferous hybrid of Lths. escobariana × Lths. niesseniae. It grows large, dark green elliptic leaves and produces large, showy flowers for the genus on short peduncles from the leaf base, each with three broad ovate sepals spreading symmetrically in a star-like arrangement, a bilobed labellum, and a prominent contrasting yellow column at the center.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can damage the large foliage.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an Intermediate grower that benefits from good air circulation and stable temperatures.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity — ideal for terrariums or humid intermediate setups.
• Watering: Water frequently to keep the medium evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness, as Lepanthes roots are sensitive to dehydration.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small net pot with fine sphagnum moss or mounted on cork. Its disproportionately large, star-shaped flowers make it one of the most visually impactful Lepanthes hybrids for terrarium culture. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
