Pleurothallis volans xanthina

The yellow color form of Pths. volans, endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador. It shares the same compact, globose pendant flower structure as the typical form, but is uniformly vivid chartreuse-yellow throughout — broad, waxy, and iridescent — with no purple pigmentation, making it a clean, luminous expression of the species.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower. Tolerates brief dips to 45°F (7°C) if kept dry.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air movement.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mount or medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged root saturation.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern; a small net pot with fine bark also works well. A slight nighttime temperature drop encourages blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
