A robust epiphyte native to the cloud forests of the Caribbean, producing successive flowers directly on the leaf rachis of large, glossy elliptic leaves. The blooms are distinguished by their terete, cylindrical petals — a rare trait within the genus — paired with ovate-lanceolate sepals bearing elongated, curving filiform tails.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the broad foliage.
• Temperature: 52–72°F (11–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that benefits from mild temperature drops at night and consistent air movement.
• Humidity: 70–90%; maintain high humidity with strong airflow to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist; water regularly in small amounts and avoid prolonged dryness at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best mounted on cork or tree fern, or potted in a coarse, well-draining mix (chunky bark or sphagnum moss). Ships bare root, well-established.
