Lepanthes ingridiana x Lepanthes elata

A primary hybrid of Lths. ingridiana × Lths. elata, producing flowers flush against the underside of broad leaves. It combines the epiphyllous habit of ingridiana with the robust foliage of elata, resulting in blooms with a sharply erect acuminate dorsal sepal, a wide synsepal with diverging tails, and a compact contrasting inner lip.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 50°F (10°C) at night.
• Humidity: 75–90%; grow in a well-ventilated enclosure and mist frequently to prevent desiccation.
• Watering: Keep roots consistently moist but never waterlogged; water every 1–2 days in fine sphagnum or bark mix.

Additional Notes

Its compact size and high humidity requirements make it an excellent candidate for terrarium or Wardian case cultivation. Best grown in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss or mounted on cork. Ships bare root, well-established.
