Lepanthes dalessandroi pink

A rare pink-pigmented form of this cool-growing miniature epiphyte from the cloud forests of Ecuador, sharing the same elegant fusiform floral architecture as the type — an erect acuminate dorsal sepal and broad, concave fused lateral sepals — but distinguished by its distinctive pigmentation that makes it a prized selection among collectors of the species.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 48–65°F (9–18°C); a Cool grower that requires consistently cool temperatures and steady air movement.
• Humidity: 75–90%; high humidity is essential to maintain the flower texture and keep roots healthy.
• Watering: Keep roots evenly moist; water frequently in small amounts with excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

A closed terrarium or enclosed glass container makes an excellent environment for this species, though it can also thrive in any humid, well-ventilated setup. Ships bare root, well-established.
