Pleurothallis niveoglobula

A delightful miniature species from the Andean cloud forests, with a single broad, fleshy leaf from which slender, thread-like inflorescences rise, each tipped with a tiny, globose, translucent flower. The name niveoglobula — "snowy little globe" — perfectly captures the pristine, jewel-like quality of the blooms.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the broad, fleshy leaf.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a cool to intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 45°F (7°C). Cool nights are essential for consistent blooming.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues on the delicate flowers.
• Watering: Water frequently to keep the root zone evenly moist; avoid prolonged dry periods between waterings.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with sphagnum or fine bark, or mounted on cork. Thrives under cool, humid conditions typical of high-altitude Andean cloud forests. Shipped bare root, well-established.
