Features:

  • Growth Habit: A miniature, monopodial epiphytic orchid with semi-terete leaves that naturally pendulate.

  • Flower Characteristics: Produces single, pendulous flowers that are larger than the plant itself, measuring up to 2.5 cm in diameter. The flowers are white with a green lip and have a crystalline, translucent appearance.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light.

  • Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to cool temperatures.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity, typical of cloud forest environments.

  • Watering: Needs regular watering throughout the year, with slightly reduced watering during cooler months.

  • Mounting: Best grown mounted on bark or cork, as it naturally grows on mossy and lichen-covered trees.

  • Fertilization: Apply balanced orchid fertilizer year-round, following the manufacturer's recommendations.
