Pleurothallis decurrens

A leaf-blooming epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing dense clusters of 4–5 simultaneous flowers on the surface of a broad, glossy leaf. All sepal tips curve sharply backward into pronounced horn-like recurved points, framing a bold, jet-black glossy labelo — giving the flower a dramatic, almost predatory silhouette.

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