Pleurothallis geographica

A compact species native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing star-shaped flowers at the base of narrow, coriaceous, sharply pointed leaves. The acutely spreading sepals and pointed lateral petals frame a small lip with a distinct central marking — a precise and elegant floral structure on an upright, easy-growing plant.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the narrow, leathery foliage.
• Temperature: 50–70°F (10–21°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°C). Cool nights encourage consistent blooming.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity — a humidifier or enclosed greenhouse environment is recommended.
• Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist; never allow to dry out completely, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with a fine, moisture-retentive mix (sphagnum or fine bark with perlite). Plants are shipped bare root and well-established, grown at Ecuagenera's cloud forest nursery in Ecuador.
