Lepanthes Saltatrix
Oh... what a cute little guy and apparently very easy to bloom. I've got a couple of new leaves and all I did was stick it in my terrarium. It went to town all on its own. Purchased just about a month ago.
I'm surprised how fast the spike grew, as this leaf had no spike on it when I bought it. I assumed that it had already spiked because it was quite large compared to the other leaves on this plant. One minute, it was just a leaf. The next, there was this adorable little flower. So cute!
The leaf that is pictured is no bigger than the pad of my thumb.

Lepanthes Saltatrix
Thanks Rosie!
I don't think you will be disappointed with this plant. I've seen pictures of this plant growing like a carpet in a large gladware container. The leaves stay small, but the plant can take up quite a bit of room, I didn't realize that when I got mine. I'll have to work on keeping it contained to its spot in my terrarium.
It seems to be really easy to grow though. I mean like, a newbie could do it easy, which is what I am, so that works for me!!  |

I think I would like a few more myself. I love most things in this alliance, so I want to try to have a good variety of them in my terrarium, but I wouldn't mind having another one of these in there if I had the space and certainly, if I set up another one, a piece of this will go in there. |

Quite an unusual plant....so tiny but with amazingly lovely flower. The color and form is unique coming out from the heart shaped leaf to frame its glory.
