Pleurothallis bicallosa

A prolific epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing dense, globose clusters of small flowers that open simultaneously atop erect stems. Each bloom has narrowly lanceolate sepals and petals with sharply recurved tips that radiate outward in all directions, creating a spiky, starburst-like head of remarkable visual impact for its size.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the upright foliage.
• 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 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. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
