Lepanthes nicolasii x Lepanthes calodictyon
A rare and collectible hybrid of Lths. nicolasii × Lths. calodictyon, combining the ornamental reticulated foliage of the calodictyon parent with the proportionally large, well-structured flowers of nicolasii. The blooms display three broad, ovate sepals with distinct longitudinal venation, framing a contrasting labellum with curved appendages at the center.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to preserve the iridescent reticulated leaf pattern.
- Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate grower with good adaptability to mild temperature fluctuations.
- Humidity: 78–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
- Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times; water regularly and avoid prolonged dry periods.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork bark or in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss. Its compact size, ornamental foliage, and high humidity requirements make it an ideal candidate for a well-ventilated terrarium setup. Ships bare root, well-established.
