Pleurothallis culpameae
A leaf-blooming epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing a solitary flower on the surface of a broad, fleshy, glossy leaf. The flower is dominated by a strikingly inflated, globose synsepalum in deep red-purple with a yellow-tan gradient at the tips — densely papillose throughout and highly three-dimensional in form.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the broad, fleshy leaves.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool grower that performs best with stable cool conditions and good air movement. Minimum 45°F (7°C).
- Humidity: 70–90%; grow in a small pot or mount with a fine open mix to maintain moisture around the roots while ensuring good airflow.
- Watering: Water regularly to keep roots evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness between waterings.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a small pot with a fine, well-draining mix or mounted on cork. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
