Pleurothallis bucranon
A dramatic leaf-blooming epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing solitary flowers from the surface of the broad, fleshy leaf. The tall erect lanceolate dorsal sepal rises sharply upward while the free lateral sepals spread outward and downward — all covered in a dense, uniform velvety texture that gives the flower a rich, dark presence.
- 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.
