Pleurothallis ID Help Please

[qbie]

The first few buds finally opened on the keikis I took last summer. I've been looking at several images online. Could this be Stelis (Pleurothallis) Restrepioides? Thanks for your help!

[Roberta]

Indeed Stelis (Pleurothallis) restrepiodes. A very vigorous species. Tends to make keikis so you will soon be able to share it.

Thanks Roberta!

It's a beaut!

[qbie]

Thank you. If I'm able to provide conditions for it to thrive as Roberta says, I'm happy to share with you or anyone else who wishes!

How are you growing it? House? Terrarium? Porch? Fire escape? I lived in the Sunset District long ago. It might do well outside.

[Roberta]

I grow it outside, on the shady side, and damp. Grows very rapidly, both keikis and overall "spread".

I live in a condo so it is outside on my balcony (faces north). So far seems happy with the light, temp, air flow, and all the rain right now. 2 leaves grew out last fall but they were both smaller. One of the original keiki leaves has appeared to be yellowing but perhaps it may be natural die back and the new leaves were smaller because of stress being separated from the parent and trying to establish itself. I'm continuing to observe.
