Pleurothallis complanata
A stunning leaf-blooming epiphyte native to Ecuador, producing flowers directly on the iridescent leaf surface. The glassy translucent periath frames a distinctively bilobed synsepalum with two fleshy pink lobes and a bright golden-yellow labelo at the center — an unmistakable floral architecture among pleurothallids.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the broad, glossy 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.
