Lepanthes peruviana

A rare and impressive species from the Andean cloud forests of South America, standing out within the genus for its unusually large, elegantly structured flowers. The blooms feature three long, lanceolate sepals tapering into slender filifom tails — the erect dorsal sepal and two diverging lateral sepals creating a dramatic, open three-pointed silhouette with a prominent green column at the center.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to protect the delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 52–70°F (11–21°C); a cool to intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°C).
• Humidity: 80–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times; water frequently and avoid any prolonged dry periods.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork bark or in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss. A prized addition to any cool-growing miniature collection or well-ventilated terrarium. Ships bare root, well-established.
