Lepanthes melpomene

A captivating miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing flowers on branched, ramicaul inflorescences. The blooms are highly distinctive, with fused, densely pubescent sepals forming a globose cup and slender filifom tails, framing a boldly contrasting bilobed lip and prominent petals.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to protect the delicate foliage.
  • Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a cool grower with a minimum tolerance around 45°F (7°C).
  • Humidity: 80–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
  • Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times; water frequently and avoid any prolonged dry periods.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork bark or in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss. Ships bare root, well-established.
