Pleurothallis paquishae
A miniature species native to the cloud forests of southern Ecuador, named after the Paquisha region of Zamora-Chinchipe province. A solitary flower emerges directly on a broad, fleshy leaf, with all sepals free, elongated, and sharply acuminate — forming a perfectly symmetrical four-pointed star with a tiny lip and column at the center.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the broad, fleshy leaf.
- Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 50°F (10°C). Moderate day-to-night temperature fluctuations encourage blooming.
- Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
- Watering: Water frequently to keep the root zone evenly moist; avoid prolonged dry periods between waterings.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a small pot with sphagnum or fine bark, or mounted on cork. Shipped bare root, well-established.
