Lepanthes Camilita

A cross of Lths. caprimulgus and Lths. portillae, this hybrid features a distinctive hooded flower with bold striping and pointed lower sepals. Slender, hanging flower stems create an eye-catching display that is especially appealing in mounted culture.

• Light: Begin with low to moderate, filtered light in a shaded position, protected from direct sunlight.
• Temperature: A suggested starting range is cool to intermediate, approximately 55–75°F (13–24°C), with cooler nights and protection from prolonged heat.
• Humidity: Aim initially for 75–90% humidity with gentle air movement to prevent stagnant conditions.
• Watering: Keep the root zone evenly moist without waterlogging. Use low-mineral water and adjust watering frequency to the medium, ventilation, and plant response.

Additional Notes:

Small green leaves are carried on slender stems with conspicuous sheaths. Leave clearance below the plant so flower stems can hang freely. A small mount with a light layer of sphagnum is a practical option where frequent watering is manageable; avoid burying new growths or disturbing established roots. Care ranges are initial recommendations rather than verified requirements for this particular hybrid.
