Lepanthes telipogoniflora Schuit. & A.de Wilde, Orquideologia 20: 28 (1996).
 

I have finaly found a Lepanthes telipogoniflora and flowered it!

I acquired this plant at an exhibition on the 7 th of September this year from a South American vendor. I remounted it from tree fern to this Hygrolon the week after.

The plant was smal and had 4 leaves with no sign of buds. Now 2 month later, 2 out of 4 old growth has flowered, this is the second. I have 3 new growth forming flower stems and another 2 growth are developing. And the growth that have flowered has new buds forming!

It is a intermidate growing species and obvious very fast growing!

One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I got two plants for free from a South American vendor this past summer and mounted them on a champagne cork! They seem to be doing well. How bright do you grow yours? Also, what is your fertilizer regimine?

Thank´s everyone!

Steve, I do not now my light level as I can not find my light meter. But it is not high, more bright shade if I would describe it. For fertilization I have a drip wall with a water reservoar. No fertilizer but a mixture of tapwater and RO water, somewere 1:9 I think.

My tapwater is not good for Swedish standard but about 400 S/cm and for Ca and Mg, 46 and 14 mg/l.

How is your air circulation? I checked two vendors and one said virtually no air circulation and another said high air circulation. Completely opposite viewpoints.

Your plant has established quickly and all photos, but especially the closeup are outstanding.
