Pleurothallis gargantua f. xanthinum 'Gigi' 003138
A select clone of the epiphyllous Pths. gargantua, bearing a solitary flower directly from the surface of a broad leaf. The concave, scoop-shaped dorsal sepal arches over a striking bilobed lip with large, rounded, densely velvety lobes and a prominent orange anther — a floral structure of exceptional detail and presence that distinguishes this form within the species.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the broad leaf surface.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°C). Cool nights promote consistent blooming.
- Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity — a humidifier or enclosed greenhouse environment is strongly recommended.
- Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist; never allow to dry out completely, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a small pot with a fine, moisture-retentive mix (sphagnum or fine bark with perlite). This select clone 'Gigi' (003138) is shipped bare root and well-established, grown at Ecuagenera's cloud forest nursery in Ecuador.
