Lepanthes antilocapra
A striking miniature epiphyte from the cloud forests of Central America, instantly recognizable by its upward-curving, horn-like petals that evoke the silhouette of an antelope — the trait that inspired its name. The broad, acuminate sepals frame this distinctive floral structure, making it one of the most visually dramatic species in the genus.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate foliage.
- Temperature: 58–77°F (14–25°C); an Intermediate to Intermediate-Warm grower that adapts well to a range of temperatures with good air circulation.
- Humidity: 75–90%; high humidity is essential to keep roots and foliage in optimal condition.
- Watering: Keep roots evenly moist; water frequently in small amounts with 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 maintain root moisture and aeration. 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. Ships bare root, well-established.
