Andinia nummularia

Andinia nummularia (Rchb.f.) Karremans & S.V.Uribe, first published in Phytotaxa in 2017, is a charming intermediate-growing miniature orchid from Ecuador. Its coin-shaped leaves — hinted at by its name — give it a distinctive, sculptural appearance that makes it a standout in any terrarium. At 10 cm, it offers a slightly larger presence while remaining perfectly suited to compact growing spaces.

Care Guide

  • Light: Bright, indirect light — filtered sunlight is ideal; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch
  • Temperature: Intermediate conditions with daytime temps of 18–24°C (65–75°F) and cooler nights of 10–15°C (50–59°F)
  • Humidity: High humidity at 50–70%; humidifiers or humidity trays are recommended
  • Watering: Keep substrate consistently moist without waterlogging; a well-draining mix with frequent watering ensures optimal root health
  • Plant size: Approximately 10 cm

Cultivated with expertise in the Ecuadorian highlands by Ecuagenera, Andinia nummularia is a wonderful addition to intermediate terrarium setups and a rewarding species for collectors seeking something truly distinctive.
