Information

Description

Description

A distinctive miniature epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, grown primarily for its single large, ovate-cordate leaf with a striking dark papillose texture. Clusters of tiny flowers are produced in dense succession directly at the base of the leaf rachis, featuring acuminate sepals with short tails and small bilobed petals.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can damage the ornamental foliage.
  • Temperature: 52–72°F (11–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that benefits from mild temperature drops at night and consistent air movement.
  • Humidity: 75–90%; maintain high humidity with strong airflow to prevent fungal issues.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist at all times; water frequently in small amounts and never allow the roots to dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best mounted on cork or tree fern, or potted in a fine, well-draining mix (sphagnum moss or fine bark). Ships bare root, well-established.
