Pleurothallis scurrula
A floriferous epiphyte from Andean cloud forests, producing multiple simultaneous flowers from the base of large, dark, coriaceous leaves. Each translucent yellow-green bloom forms a distinctive bird-head silhouette, centered by a small but striking dark purple-black spot that draws the eye immediately.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower. Tolerates brief dips to 45°F (7°C) if kept dry.
- Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air movement.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mount or medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged root saturation.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern; a small net pot with fine bark also works well. A slight nighttime temperature drop encourages blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
