Information

Description

Description

A captivating leaf-blooming epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing tiny flowers on the surface of a broad, glossy, heart-shaped leaf. Each bloom is dominated by a near-spherical jet-black glossy labelo — an extraordinary dark pearl-like contrast against the yellow-green synsepalum and hooded dorsal sepal.

  • 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.
