Pleurothallis adeleae

An elegant miniature to small epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing pendant flowers on slender, arching stems held beneath broad, upright leaves. The free lateral sepals are broadly ovate with prominent longitudinal veining and a silky, lustrous texture, framing a small contrasting labelo at the center.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can damage the broad, soft leaves.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool grower that thrives with stable cool conditions and consistent air movement. Minimum 45°F (7°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%; grow in a small pot or mount to maintain moisture around the roots while ensuring good airflow.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep roots evenly moist; avoid prolonged dry periods between waterings.
