Pleurothallis lilijae
A botanical rarity native to the cloud forests of Ecuador with a striking epiphyllous habit: a single flower emerges from the surface of a large, ovate leaf with dark striped venation. A tall, densely hairy dorsal sepal rises vertically above a prominent, papillose-globose lip, flanked by small downward-curving lateral sepals — a sculptural composition of exceptional singularity within the genus.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the broad, patterned 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). Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
