Information

Description

Description

A compact, floriferous species endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador. Multiple globose, fleshy flowers are produced simultaneously on short, erect ramicauls, with inflated hooded sepals tapering into short, pointed tails and a smooth, highly glossy surface.

  • Light: 60–70% shade cloth; bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the leaves.
  • Temperature: 55–70°F (13–21°C) — Intermediate grower. Tolerates mild fluctuations; avoid prolonged heat above 75°F (24°C).
  • Humidity: 80–90%. Maintain strong air circulation to prevent fungal issues at the crown and roots.
  • Watering: 2–3 times per week; keep roots evenly moist at all times. No pseudobulbs — cannot tolerate drying out. Use soft, low-mineral water when possible.

Additional Notes

Grown and propagated by Ecuagenera in the highlands of Ecuador. A rewarding species for growers — mature plants in full bloom are a striking display. Shipped bare root, well-established.
