Pleurothallis henniae

A neat, free-flowering species native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing successive racemes of open, star-shaped flowers on an erect scape. The ovate-lanceolate sepals are well-spread and slightly fleshy with a glossy surface, framing smaller, acute lateral petals and a compact lip with a prominent white anther — a clean, symmetrical floral display of understated elegance.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the foliage.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°C). Cool nights encourage consistent blooming.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity — a humidifier or enclosed greenhouse environment is recommended.
• Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist; never allow to dry out completely, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with a fine, moisture-retentive mix (sphagnum or fine bark with perlite). Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
