A compact miniature epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing an impressive flush of simultaneous blooms on short pendent scapes in a pronounced basal habit. The small cucullate flowers feature a dark rounded hood, a contrasting pale base, and three proportionate filiform tails — a remarkably floriferous species for its diminutive size.

• Light: 70–80% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun. Bright, diffused light encourages the prolific blooming this species is known for.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C) — Intermediate to Cool grower. Nighttime temperature drops help sustain blooming cycles. Avoid prolonged exposure above 75°F (24°C).
• Humidity: 80–90%; always pair with strong air movement to prevent rot and fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and frequently, never allowing the medium to fully dry out. Use soft, low-mineral water (RO or rainwater preferred).

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small plastic or net pot with fine bark or sphagnum moss and excellent drainage. Ships bare root and well-established, with a healthy root system ready to settle into its new home.
