Lepanthes calocerca x Lepanthes felis
A hybrid of Lths. calocerca × Lths. felis, combining the broad, translucent sepals of both parents into a large, dramatically bicolored flower. The dark-margined, wide-spreading lateral sepals contrast sharply with the luminous central zone, while the acuminate dorsal sepal and vivid lip structure add depth and sculptural presence.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate foliage.
- Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an Intermediate grower that appreciates moderate temperatures with a slight drop at night and 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 hybrid, though it can also thrive in any humid, well-ventilated setup. Ships bare root, well-established.
