Lepanthes Sunset Jewel

A cross of Lths. tentaculata and Lths. telipogoniflora, this hybrid features three spreading, pointed sepals framing an intricate floral center. Its star-like flowers and finely textured surfaces offer distinctive detail for close-up appreciation.

• Light: Begin with low to moderate, diffused light in a shaded position. Protect 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 circulation to avoid 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:

Oval green leaves are carried on slender stems, with blooms positioned close to the foliage. A small mount offers room to observe new growth where frequent watering is practical; an airy, moisture-retentive potting medium is another option. Minimize root disturbance during establishment. Care ranges are initial recommendations rather than verified requirements for this particular hybrid.
