Lepanthes Ecuagenera Flame

A cross of Lths. saltatrix and Lths. cremasta, this hybrid features sharply pointed sepals framing an intricate, sculptural center. The contrast between translucent green segments and rich burgundy accents makes each bloom rewarding to examine up close.

• Light: Begin with low to moderate, diffused light in a shaded position, protected from direct sunlight.
• Temperature: A provisional cool to intermediate starting range is 55–75°F (13–24°C), with cooler nights. Adjust conditions according to the plant's response.
• Humidity: As an initial cultivation target, aim for 75–90% humidity with gentle air circulation, avoiding stagnant conditions.
• Watering: Keep the root zone evenly moist without waterlogging. Use low-mineral water and adjust watering frequency to the medium and ventilation.

Additional Notes:

Smooth, oval leaves provide a simple backdrop for flowers carried on slender stalks. Consider an airy, moisture-retentive medium or mounted culture where frequent watering is practical; minimize root disturbance during establishment. These care ranges are provisional starting recommendations rather than verified requirements for this particular cross.
