Information

Description

Description

A remarkably free-flowering species from the Andean cloud forests, producing an abundance of small, creamy white to pale yellow-green flowers simultaneously on slender upright stems. The hooded, forward-tilting sepals and short curved caudas give each bloom a delicate, nodding character that is charming en masse above the compact, glossy foliage.

  • Light: 50–70% shade cloth; bright, diffused light. Avoid any direct sun exposure.
  • Temperature: 45–68°F (7–20°C); Cool to Intermediate grower. Consistent cool nights are essential for healthy growth and blooming.
  • Humidity: 70–90%. Requires high humidity at all times; excellent air movement is critical to prevent fungal issues.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist; never allow the roots to dry out completely. Water frequently with good drainage to avoid stagnation.

Additional Notes

Grown by Ecuagenera in the highlands of Ecuador. Best grown in small pots with a fine, well-draining mix. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
