Pleurothallis aspergillum

A grass-like miniature epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, with narrow, strap-like leaves from which multiple slender flower stems emerge simultaneously. Each small flower displays an erect dorsal sepal and free lateral sepals spreading downward in a V, accented by bold purple blotches at the base.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the narrow, grass-like leaves.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool grower that thrives with stable cool conditions and consistent air movement. Minimum 45°F (7°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%; grow in a small pot or mount with a fine open mix to maintain moisture around the roots while ensuring good airflow.
• Watering: Water regularly to keep roots evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness between waterings.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with a fine, well-draining mix or mounted on cork. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
