Restrepia elegans 'Camila'
A selected cultivar of Restrepia elegans from the cloud forests of South America, producing solitary flowers directly from the base of a single coriaceous leaf. The fused lateral sepals form an elongated, striped synsepal, while the dorsal sepal and petals are reduced to slender curved filaments — the antenna-like structure that defines the genus.
- Light: Low to medium indirect light with 60–80% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the soft, single-leaved growths.
- Temperature: 48–68°F (9–20°C); a cool grower that requires stable, mild temperatures and excellent air circulation — avoid heat, which inhibits blooming and stresses the plant.
- Humidity: 70–90%; consistently high humidity is essential to support healthy leaf and root development.
- Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist; never allow to dry out completely, as the plant lacks pseudobulbs for water storage.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork or in a small pot with a fine, moisture-retentive mix and strong air movement. This cultivar blooms prolifically from the base of mature leaves and can produce multiple flowers simultaneously. Shipped bare root in well-established condition.
