Lepanthes volador
A charming miniature species with orbicular, heavily textured leaves bearing crisped and undulate margins, grown as a creeping mat-forming plant on bark or moss. Successive tiny flowers emerge from the leaf axils on slender ramicauls, each displaying free, spreading sepals, an erect dorsal petal, and a projecting bilobed lip that gives the bloom a distinctive winged silhouette.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure to preserve leaf texture and plant vigor.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a cool to intermediate grower that thrives with consistent nighttime temperature drops.
- Humidity: 80–90%; high ambient moisture is essential — terrarium or vivarium culture is strongly recommended.
- Watering: Keep the root zone evenly moist at all times; water frequently in small amounts and never allow the medium to dry out.
Additional Notes
Best cultivated mounted on cork bark or tree fern with a thin layer of live sphagnum moss. Its creeping, mat-forming habit makes it an exceptional terrarium subject. Ships bare root, well-established.
