Pleurothallis tryssa
A small epiphyte endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing slender pendant racemes of deep burgundy-red flowers from the base of its broad, glossy leaves. Each tiny bloom is near-black in tone, with long filiform tails and only a small amber-orange lip breaking the darkness — a subtle, sophisticated contrast.
- 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; a small net pot with fine bark also works well. A slight nighttime temperature drop encourages blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
