Lepanthes condorensis
A cool-growing miniature epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, named after the Cordillera del Cóndor. The large, orbicular leaves display strongly marked parallel longitudinal veins, while the flowers feature an erect acuminate dorsal sepal and upward-curving lateral sepals that open into a wide, symmetrical structure framing a vivid bilobed lip at the center.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the ribbed foliage.
- Temperature: 48–65°F (9–18°C); a Cool grower that requires consistently cool temperatures and steady air movement.
- 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.
