Lepanthes meniscophora

A delicate miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing solitary flowers on short inflorescences that emerge directly from the leaf axil. The blooms feature broad, wing-like lateral sepals with a finely pubescent texture, paired with slender, downward-curving petals and labellum that give the flower a graceful, crescent-like silhouette.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to protect the thin, glossy leaves.
• Temperature: 52–70°F (11–21°C); a cool to intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°C).
• Humidity: 80–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times; water frequently and avoid any prolonged dry periods.

Additional Notes
