I really like Lepanthes. I also think that the photos tend to be misleading. Is the plant miniscule? Is it huge? Is it somewhere in between?
That's why I'm shooting several different views. I don't know if it's helpful to anyone else, but it gives me a perspective!
I'm growing this in sphagnum in a tiny tree fern pot that I made by hollowing out a piece of a slab with a drill. I'm growing it on the cool side of intermediate. I dried it out some when I first got it, so it's still sulking some, but it appears to be coming back nicely.
I grow it in a 30-gallon terrarium in my basement. It gets watered every morning.
I got this from Andrea Niessen of Orquideas del Valle (
Untitled Document) on her last visit to the states. The plant is named for her, and it's a real beauty.
