Pleurothallopsis norae

A small epiphyte endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing clusters of tiny flowers at the base of a large, oval leaf. The elongated, claw-curved sepals are olive-yellow with bold dark reddish-brown longitudinal veins running the full length of each segment — a crisp, ornate striped pattern that sets it apart from its close relatives.

• 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; excellent air circulation is essential. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
