This is a miniature epiphytic orchid from the Pleurothallidinae subtribe, formally described by Ecuagenera's research team. This compact species produces flowers among delicate, elongated leaves—a botanical gem for specialized collectors.
- Light: Medium to filtered shade. Bright indirect light promotes flowering, but avoid direct sun which can damage the thin leaves.
- Temperature: Cool to intermediate, 60-75°F (16-24°C) during the day with cooler nights for best blooming.
- Humidity: High humidity (70%+) with excellent air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
- Watering: Keep consistently moist—water daily or every two days in warm weather. Use rainwater or distilled water for best results.
Additional notes
Best grown in small pots with fine sphagnum moss or bark, or mounted on cork slabs. The flowers often require close observation to appreciate their intricate beauty.
