Pleurothallis ruberrima f. flavescens

The yellow-green color form of Pths. ruberrima, endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador, sharing the same dramatic floral architecture as the type form but rendered entirely in olive-green. The globose connate lateral sepals are boldly striped with deep longitudinal veins and taper into a long, pendant tail — an elegant silhouette in a softer, more understated palette.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower. Tolerates brief dips to 45°F (7°C) if kept dry.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air movement.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mount or medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged root saturation.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern; a small net pot with fine bark also works well. A slight nighttime temperature drop encourages blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
