Lepanthes Nettare f. xanthinum Culture

Lepanthes Nettare f. xanthinum is a Lepanthes orchid hybrid grown at our nurseries in Ecuador. Like most of its genus it appreciates intermediate-to-warm conditions and steady, attentive care.

• Light: Low diffused light, similar to deep forest shade.
• Temperature: It prefers days of 22-30 °C (72-86 °F) and cooler nights around 18-22 °C (64-72 °F).
• Humidity: Aim for 60-80% humidity year-round, always paired with good air circulation.
• Watering: Keep constantly moist with high humidity; never allow the plant to dry out.

Additional notes: The lowercase epithet 'xanthinum' tells you this is the yellow color form of the species, distinct from its typical coloring - these selected forms are favorites among collectors.
