Lepanthes Waita

Lepanthes Waita

A cross of Lths. calocerca and Lths. felis, this hybrid displays broad sepals ending in slender, tapering tips around an intricate floral center. Its sculptural flowers sit close to the leaves, offering striking 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:

Elongated green leaves provide a simple backdrop for the closely held blooms. Consider a ventilated growing enclosure and an airy, moisture-retentive medium, or mounted culture where frequent watering is practical. Minimize root disturbance during establishment. Care ranges are initial recommendations rather than verified requirements for this particular hybrid.
