Meiracyllium trinasutum

[Gwallogwyn]

This isn't spectacular but it is redolent of cinnamon. The cork mount is 5"X4" and the flowers are 3/4" across.

Very cool looking! I am not familiar with this genus at all. How do you grow it?

Its a lovely bloom. I like the vivid colors; the shapes, textures and form....its a manageable miniature plant that is in symetrical proportion to the leaves and flower

Beautiful! I have this on my wish list. I used to have one quite a few years ago. It's such a cute little species! Yours looks really healthy! Thanks for sharing!

This is native to Guatemala along streams on tree trunks and rock walls. Carl Withner calls them “log-covers”. They grow under intermediate conditions.
I grow under lights and every thing gets the same treatment, Mostly stanhopeas (about 200 or so). The humidity is kept at about 80% with a Hydrofogger. When the lights are on the temps range from 70 to 80 degrees and drop to 55 to 60 degrees when they are off at night. I keep the Meiracyllium about 4 feet in front of the fogger.
During the summer everything is outdoors hanging in the trees.

Hello from Miami!
I read this blog about Meyracillium and I would like to give it a try here in Florida do you know anyone who might have it available? I been looking everywhere with no luck any clues would be appreciated. I know there are a lot of sources and probably better than here.
Thank you!

This came from Hoosier Orchids about 12 years ago. They are out of business now. I don't know of any other source.
