Pleurothallis brenneri

A prolific epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing numerous flowers simultaneously on slender stems from the base of narrow, lanceolate leaves. Each bloom has a dark hooded dorsal sepal above a concave synsepalum boldly marked with irregular dark blotches, and a narrow pendant labelo — a striking display when the whole plant is in full bloom.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the narrow 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 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.
