Ceratostema loucianae (small)

Ceratostema loucianae Culture:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light (70–80% shade cloth or dappled sunlight). Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch, but provide ample filtered light to encourage blooming. 
• Temperature: Thrives intermediate conditions: Day 18–26°C (64–79°F).
• Humidity: Requires high humidity (70–90%). Good air circulation is critical to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist (never soggy). Use rainwater or distilled water. Reduce slightly in winter but never let roots dry completely.
• Substrate: Epiphytic nature—best mounted on cork bark or tree fern plaques. Ensure excellent drainage.

Special Notes:

• Flowers: Striking pendulous red-orange tubular blooms (hummingbird-pollinated!).
