Lepanthes tentaculata EC-115998

Description

Patterned leaves worth a closer look. This warm-growing miniature orchid has rounded foliage with brown-purple markings and tiny orange-red flowers.

In your tropical vivarium: Mount on cork or a branch at viewing height in your tropical vivarium. Keep the roots exposed to moving air, with space for new growth and flower stems.

Care essentials: Filtered light, humidity and gentle ventilation. Water the roots regularly but let excess drain promptly; never bury them in dense, soggy soil.

Also at home: Use a mount or small orchid pot with an open mix in a humid, ventilated plant cabinet. Match the temperature to the species.
