Lepanthes nicolasii x Lepanthes steyermarkii

A floriferous hybrid of Lths. nicolasii × Lths. steyermarkii. It bears small, successive flowers with broad triangular sepals and a distinctively marked labellum, held just above the single ovate leaf on slender ramicauls.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure, which can scorch the delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%; mount or pot in a well-ventilated setup and mist regularly to maintain moisture around the roots.
• Watering: Water frequently to keep the medium evenly moist but never waterlogged; Lepanthes roots are sensitive to prolonged dryness.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern, or in a small net pot with fine bark and sphagnum moss. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
