Pleurothallis flavomarginata

A slender miniature native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, bearing solitary flowers at the base of narrow, lanceolate leaves. The erect, hooded dorsal sepal contrasts with an elongated, tubular ventral synsepal that extends downward, while small petals with a distinctly margined edge and a curved lip complete a flower of precise, architectural elegance.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the narrow, strap-like 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 or on a mount 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.
