Pleurothallis cardiostola f. xanthina

A yellow-green form of this leaf-blooming Andean epiphyte, producing a solitary flower on the surface of a broad, bilobed, glossy leaf with prominent concentric venation. The entire flower — rounded dorsal sepal, concave synsepalum, and free lateral sepals — is a clean, uniform chartreuse-yellow, a striking contrast to the dark velvety typical form.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the broad, glossy leaves.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool grower that performs best with stable cool conditions and good air movement. Minimum 45°F (7°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%; grow in a small pot or mount with a fine open mix to maintain moisture around the roots while ensuring good airflow.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep roots evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness between waterings.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with a fine, well-draining mix or mounted on cork. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
