Lepanthes calocerca x Lepanthes felis

A captivating hybrid resulting from the cross of Lths. calocerca and Lths. felis, this miniature specimen is native to the cloud forests of Ecuador. It exhibits a compact, caespitose habit and produces successive, delicate inflorescences that carry intricately structured, ornate blooms.

  • Light: Bright, diffused light; avoid direct sunlight to protect the small, sensitive foliage.
  • Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); prefers cool to intermediate conditions with consistent air movement.
  • Humidity: 75–90%; high, steady humidity is crucial for maintaining healthy growth and development.
  • Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the media; use high-quality water and ensure excellent drainage to prevent stagnation.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on a small slab of bark or tree fern with a pad of moss to keep the roots evenly damp. Ships bare root and should be gently rehydrated in an intermediate-temperature environment before being established in its new home.
