A miniature epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing upright, slender spikes with small flowers spaced along the rachis. The narrow, reflexed sepals and petals have a slightly glossy texture, while the compact lip features a rounded frontal lobe, a basal callus, and visible lateral column wings.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate miniature growth.
-
Temperature: 59–79°F (15–26°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives with stable temperatures and good air circulation.
-
Humidity: 65–80%; consistent moisture around the roots encourages vigorous growth and reliable flowering.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork or in a very fine bark mix to accommodate its compact root system. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
