This distinctive Ecuadorian species produces elegant flowers with triangular form and elongated sepaline tails that create a graceful appearance. The compact growth habit and reliable blooming make it an excellent choice for collectors.

• Light: Bright shade to filtered light, avoiding direct sun which can burn the foliage; east-facing windows or 50-70% shade cloth recommended
• Temperature: Cool grower - 50-68°F (10-20°C) days, 45-55°F (7-13°C) nights; benefits from consistent cool conditions year-round with good day-night temperature differential
• Humidity: 70-85% with excellent air circulation to prevent fungal issues; use fans or natural airflow, mist in morning hours during dry periods
• Watering: Keep consistently moist year-round using pure water (rainwater or RO preferred), reduce frequency slightly in winter but never allow to dry completely; water in morning to allow foliage to dry before evening

Additional Notes

Native to the cloud forests, best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, or in small pots with fine-grade bark mix or sphagnum moss to accommodate its compact root system.
