Lepanthes telipogoniflora
Lepanthes telipogoniflora--Intermediate grower. It likes good humidity and good water quality. The flower is about 0.5"

That's a pretty large plant! I just bought a small plant (4 leaves) and would appreciate any hints for growing it. I put it on cork with a bit of moss to keep it moist.

Phantasm, I grow it under the cool side of intermediate mostly. Water almost daily for most part of the year(moist, not totally dry out but not constant wet either), some air movement like you will do for other Lepanthes species, good rh(70% or higher) and good quality water.

Very cool little guy! What is the min/max temp for the 'cool side of intermediate?' Just curious to see if I can grow these guys where I live. Thanks!

55-75F for me.
"Just curious to see if I can grow these guys where I live."
Where you live is not important for orchids but your growing condition is. For example, You can live in the tropic, but you still can grow those cool growers if you can provide them the right growing condition.

It should be happy with me, since cool-intermediate is what I do!

Love the blooms on it! Yours is quite a large plant compared to the pics of it I've come across on internet. Unfortunately I already know from previous searches that this little gem is unavailable here.

Looks like a Telipogon, all right, but in red.  |
