Pleurothallis grandiflora 'Gigi'
A select clone of the epiphyllous Pths. grandiflora, bearing a solitary flower directly from the surface of a mottled, coriaceous leaf. The commanding, channeled dorsal sepal arches forward into a broad hood, while a narrow, elongated ventral synsepal drops vertically to a sharp point — a flower of exceptional scale and architectural precision that sets this clone apart within the species.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the broad, leathery 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 to medium pot with a fine, moisture-retentive mix (sphagnum or fine bark with perlite). This select clone 'Gigi' is shipped bare root and well-established.
