Cischweinfia parva

A miniature epiphytic orchid from the cloud forests of South America, producing small but elegantly structured flowers with narrow, linear-lanceolate sepals and petals and a broad labellum with strongly fimbriate-undulate margins. The fan-shaped arrangement of linear-lanceolate leaves gives the plant a tidy, compact habit that makes it well suited to mounted culture or small collections.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can desiccate the compact pseudobulbs and foliage.
• Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); a cool to intermediate grower that benefits from stable, mild temperatures and good air movement.
• Humidity: 70–85%; consistent humidity supports healthy pseudobulb development and encourages repeat blooming.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to dry slightly between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Cischweinfia parva is best grown mounted on cork or in a small pot with a coarse, well-draining bark mix and strong air circulation. Shipped bare root in well-established condition, ready to mount or pot upon arrival.
