Lepanthes menatoi

A floriferous miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing branched, densely flowered inflorescences with multiple blooms open simultaneously. The flowers feature broadly triangular, spreading sepals and a small contrasting labellum, arranged along a serrated rachis in a highly ornamental display.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
• Temperature: 57–75°F (14–24°C); an intermediate to warm grower with good adaptability to mild temperature swings.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain high ambient moisture with adequate air movement to prevent rot.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep roots evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness between waterings.

Additional Notes
