Pleurothallis crucifera
A miniature leaf-blooming epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, with small ovate leaves flushed red-purple on the underside and margins. The solitary flower forms a perfect, minimalist cross of fully glassy translucent segments — nearly invisible but for the bright golden-yellow labelo glowing at the center.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the small 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%; mount or grow in a small pot 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
Well-suited to mounting on cork or growing in a small pot with a fine, well-draining mix. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
