Wow... that's quite a plant for such a tiny one. Nice not so little mini!

Actually those squares behind it are a quarter of an inch for reference.

Wow, it's even bigger than I thought then. Great growing!

Hi Phel,

This is one of the lepanthes species that isn't liking my conditions. It is in direct AIR flow...closest to the fan and sometimes dries out a little bit. Is there a way to propogate it? I tried cutting a section and put it in some live moss. Is that good?

thanks,

V

Yeah you can cut it but make sure there are roots otherwise it will just perish.Mine doesnt dry out at all it does get a moderate breeze but never dries.Put it higher up like your teli's and you will see a huge differance.
I have alot of lepanthes like these and they all seem to grow the exact opposite as they are supposed to.

Very nice, its veining habit makes it desirable.
