Pleurothallis cardiostola f. magnidraba
A striking form of this Andean epiphyte, growing on thick, terete bright green leaves with a solitary apical flower. The square-rounded striped dorsal sepal, horizontally spread lateral sepals, and bold bright yellow labelo give it a clean, elegant character entirely distinct from the dark velvety typical form.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the succulent terete leaves.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool grower that performs best with stable cool conditions and good air movement. Minimum 45°F (7°C).
- Humidity: 70–90%; mount or grow in a small pot with a fine open mix to maintain moisture around the roots while ensuring good airflow.
- Watering: Water regularly to keep roots evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness between waterings.
Additional Notes
The terete leaf habit makes this form a distinctive oddity within the species. Best grown mounted on cork or in a small pot with a fine, well-draining mix. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
