Pleurothallis ankyloglossa

A slender epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing erect racemes with flowers arranged in a neat, evenly spaced succession along the stem. Each bloom opens into a clean tripartite form: an erect lanceolate dorsal sepal flanked by two free lateral sepals that extend horizontally outward, creating a crisp, arrow-like silhouette with a slightly papillose texture across all segments.

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

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with a fine, well-draining mix or mounted on cork bark. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
