Information

Description

Description

A botanically fascinating miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, notable for its large, heart-shaped, prominently veined leaves and its remarkable habit of producing flowers directly on the leaf surface (epiphyllous inflorescences). The small blooms feature ovate, cupped sepals and a finely toothed rachis, with flowers opening in succession along the midrib of the leaf.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to protect the broad, delicate leaves.
  • Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate grower with good adaptability to mild temperature fluctuations.
  • Humidity: 78–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
  • Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times; water regularly and avoid prolonged dry periods.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss or mounted to accommodate its growth habit. Ships bare root, well-established.
