Intermediate conditions. It grows like mad. Keikis all over.

That's awesome! I need to get a few Lepanthes species. It's a really cool genus.

Great looking plant! I have one on order, to be shipped out in April. Any advice you can give me is going to be very much appreciated.

There is really nothing to it. I use a couple t8 flourescents on a 55 gal. aquarium. Mist three times a day. Fertilize once a week. Basement temperature. Its the only Pleurothallid I grow that I can refer to as "rambling". I have pulled it's keikis out of other plants pots and mounts. Lepanthes scalaris seems eager to grow. I hope you share my success.

About how far do you keep this one under the T8s? If you ever get tired of all those keikis, you could always send a few south

About 8". And about those keikis... remind me in about a month. When I come out of hibernation, I plan on some kind of clearance. I'll be trading and selling. Eventually I'll post something on orchidboard.
