Pleurothallis tiarata
A small epiphyte endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing flowers directly on the surface of a long, terete leaf. The large, membranous, pale yellow-green sepals form a distinctive double-globose structure — a broad hooded dorsal sepal over connate lateral sepals — centered by a small but striking dark purple-black spot on the lip that punctuates the translucent bloom with precision.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a Cool to Intermediate grower. Tolerates brief dips to 45°F (7°C) if kept dry.
- Humidity: 75–90%; maintain consistently high humidity with good air movement.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mount or medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged root saturation.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern to accommodate its terete leaf habit and preference for excellent air circulation. A slight nighttime temperature drop encourages blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
