Rodriguezia lehmannii

This compact epiphytic orchid produces graceful sprays of creamy-white flowers with a yellow lip center and contrasting reddish-brown markings. Its delicate blooms make an elegant addition to a mounted orchid collection.

• Light: Bright, filtered light near an east-facing window or beneath light greenhouse shade. Protect from strong midday sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; 64–82°F (18–28°C), with slightly cooler nights.
• Humidity: 60–80%, with gentle, consistent air circulation.
• Watering: Water regularly during active growth, allowing roots to approach dryness between waterings without prolonged dry periods. Mounted plants need more frequent watering; use a freely draining orchid mix if grown in a pot.

Additional Notes:

Narrow, leathery green leaves accompany small pseudobulbs. A cork or tree-fern mount provides good root aeration and space for new growth; keep a thin layer of sphagnum around the roots where humidity is lower.
