A compact epiphyte from the cloud forests of South America, forming dense clusters of arching, lanceolate leaves. It produces small, ornamental flowers with rounded, heavily veined sepals and petals and a finely spotted lip — a rewarding bloomer offered here as a large, specimen-sized plant.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
-
Temperature: 58–78°F (14–26°C); an intermediate-warm grower that tolerates a wide temperature range with good air movement.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports the dense clumping habit and reliable blooming.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.
Additional Notes
Ships bare root and well-established — a large, mature specimen that settles quickly into its new growing environment. Pot promptly upon arrival in fine bark mix and water generously to rehydrate the roots.
