Pleurothallis microcardia sbsp. microcardia

This botanical orchid bears delicate flowers close to the leaf surface, with slender, spreading petals and an elongated lower sepal. Its intricate floral structure offers a rewarding display for growers who enjoy observing small orchids up close.

  • Light: Low to moderate, filtered light near a shaded window. Protect from direct midday sun.
  • Temperature: Cool to intermediate conditions, approximately 55–75°F (13–24°C), with cooler nights. Avoid prolonged heat.
  • Humidity: Aim for 70–85% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
  • Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist without waterlogging. Use rainwater or other low-mineral water, and avoid allowing the fine roots to dry out completely.

Additional Notes:

Leathery leaves with a heart-shaped base frame the small blooms. Use a small pot with an airy, moisture-retentive medium, and repot before the mix becomes compacted. Preserve healthy leaves and their supporting stems when removing spent flowers.
