Pleurothallis manningiana
A prolific species native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing multiple erect scapes of star-shaped flowers from the base of glossy, lanceolate leaves. The narrow, linear sepals and petals radiate openly in all directions, with a small, dark lip at the center — an airy, floriferous display of striking decorative effect.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the glossy foliage.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower with a minimum tolerance around 46°F (8°C). Cool nights encourage consistent blooming.
- Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity — a humidifier or enclosed greenhouse environment is recommended.
- Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist; never allow to dry out completely, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a small pot with a fine, moisture-retentive mix (sphagnum or fine bark with perlite). Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
