Lepanthes calodictyon x Lths. tentaculata
A primary hybrid of Lths. calodictyon × Lths. tentaculata, producing large, orbicular leaves with a bold reticulated pattern in rich tones of green, purple, and rose — a combination that makes this hybrid one of the most ornamental in the genus even without flowers. Small blooms emerge directly from the leaf surface, adding a delicate floral accent to the already spectacular foliage.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can fade the rich leaf pigmentation.
- Temperature: 58–75°F (14–24°C); an Intermediate-Warm grower that tolerates warmer conditions than most Lepanthes, making it more accessible for growers in warmer climates.
- Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity enhances the lush foliage and supports continuous blooming.
- Watering: Keep roots evenly moist; water frequently in small amounts with excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes
Excellent mounted on cork bark to showcase the ornamental foliage, or grown in a net pot with fine sphagnum moss. 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.
