Pleurothallopsis inaequalis

A small creeping epiphyte from the cloud forests of Ecuador, with a compact, branching habit quite distinct from its relatives. Flowers emerge from the base of small, glossy oval leaves on short pedicels, each displaying long, linear sepals that curve downward in a characteristic claw-like formation — a subtle but highly distinctive silhouette in uniform olive-yellow.

• 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 to accommodate its creeping, branching habit. Excellent air circulation is essential. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
