Lepanthes inca

A showstopping miniature species native to Ecuador. It produces large, showy flowers with a bold lanceolate-rhomboid outline, deep burgundy-purple fused sepals adorned with a striking symmetrical pattern of golden-yellow veins, and a small, intricate labellum at the center.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can damage the delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); a Cool grower that thrives in stable, cool conditions with consistent air movement.
• Humidity: 80–95%; maintain high humidity at all times — ideal for cool terrarium setups.
• Watering: Water frequently to keep the medium evenly moist; never allow the fine roots to dry out completely between waterings.
