Lepanthes tentaculata
This little guy grows in a glass ball. The biggest issue I have with growing him is if the leaves grow outside of the front openning of the ball they burn, besides that this plant has been relatively low maintenance.

Thanks, Katrina! I grow this one for its leaves; they remind me of a turtle's shell. |

It gets very hot in my solarium some days. I have found the key is they should get their sun during the coolest part of the day, the humidity needs to be high (they are mounted, but I set them in a pot that is sitting in water inside of the glass ball) and they should be in shade during the hottest parts of the day. I had a leaf that was growing outside the shaded part of the ball and it literally fried on a warm day. Thankfully, there wasn't damage to any other part of the plant. |

Awesome, I love Lepanthes plants, and it is really the best way how to grow them, in the glass orbs etc. Nice healthy plant!
