Gongora pardina
A species native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing pendulous racemes of fragrant, waxy flowers with spotted, spreading sepals and a sculptural, clawed lip. The ribbed, ovoid pseudobulbs bear broad, pleated leaves with prominent venation.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the pleated leaves.
- Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); intermediate-warm grower with good tolerance for warm days provided nights are cooler.
- Humidity: 60–80%; high humidity supports vigorous growth and promotes flowering.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best grown in open, well-draining baskets or slatted wooden containers that allow the pendulous inflorescences to hang freely. Ships bare root, well established.
