A cool-growing miniature epiphyte from Andean cloud forests, producing flowers with remarkably elongated, sharply acuminate sepals that taper into long, thread-like tails. The blooms are borne successively on slender zigzag ramicauls, creating an elegant, pendant display.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 48–65°F (9–18°C); a Cool grower that requires consistently cool temperatures and good air circulation.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain high ambient humidity at all times; a closed terrarium or enclosed glass container makes an excellent environment for this species, though it can also thrive in any humid, well-ventilated setup.
• Watering: Keep roots evenly moist; water frequently in small amounts and ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Best mounted on cork bark or grown in a small net pot with fine sphagnum moss to keep roots aerated and moist. Ships bare root, well-established.
