A gem-like miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, prized for its large, finely reticulated iridescent leaves and its jewel-like epiphyllous flowers. The bloom is nearly crystalline in appearance — three translucent sepals form an open rhomboid structure, with a broad acuminate dorsal and rounded lateral sepals framing a prominent bilobed labellum with a vivid contrasting yellow column at the center.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to preserve the finely reticulated iridescent leaf surface.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a cool grower with a minimum tolerance around 45°F (7°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 in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss or mounted to display its spectacular reticulated foliage. One of the most visually refined Lepanthes for terrarium cultivation. Ships bare root, well-established.
