Leptotes bicolor
A small size and cute species. I’ve been growing it for many years since it had just 3~4 leaves. The blooms are truly colorful, but stays less than one week...

Wow, great looking plant. That's a great display, don't think I've seen one with that many leaves & flowers before.

Lovely! I just bought one at the SEPOS show. What is yours potted in? Any culture tips? Mine came in a packed sphag which makes me nervous.
Thanks!

Hi, cbuchman:
I grow this one in pot with moss, and water it before moss almost dry. Avoid its roots staying in the wet for a long time. Of course, you can mount it upon tree bark if you like, and you have to be patient for its slow growth. |

I just got one at the SEPOS show too.
I know a lot of people grow them mounted. I wonder if anyone tried this mounted on Epiweb/Ecoweb?
Cheers.

what a nice job growing  .
love the scent of these too. I argued once they didn't have fragrance but they do if you have enough of them.
