A captivating miniature epiphyte native to the cloud forests of South America, bearing solitary flowers on long, thread-like ramicauls arising from small elliptic leaves. The blooms feature an erect dorsal sepal with a long curving filiform tail, connate lateral sepals forming an elongated lanceolate blade with bold tiger-striped venation, and small bilobed petals framing a prominent dark labellum.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can damage the delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a cool grower that thrives with cool nights and consistent air movement.
• Humidity: 75–90%; maintain high ambient humidity with strong airflow to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist at all times; water frequently in small amounts and never allow the roots to dry out completely.

Additional Notes
