Lepanthes quadricornis
A botanically remarkable miniature species from the Andean cloud forests of South America, named for the four prominent horn-like appendages of its flower. The large epiphyllous bloom features a broad, globose dorsal sepal with densely ciliate margins forming a hood over a fused synsepal that opens into four diverging, pointed lobes, with a well-defined column and petals visible in the interior.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to protect the iridescent leaf surface.
- Temperature: 52–70°F (11–21°C); a cool to intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°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 in a small pot with fine sphagnum moss or mounted to display its ornamental foliage and architecturally striking epiphyllous blooms. An excellent choice for a well-ventilated terrarium. Ships bare root, well-established.
