Nice Sophronitis. Do the culture tips for this one resemble these for S. cernua?

That is not a mini, that is a micro. It would provide GREAT genes for plant size reduction.

Susanne, I really hope that you can get one for you! It is a cute little thing and you're gonna love it, I'm sure!

I grow it the same way, Pheli, with the difference that my cernuas are mounted on small pieces of tree fern and these ones, potted. But, in the end, the pots are so small that they work out like a mount.

Steven, you are right, it would provide a very interesting breeding line for size and for color too! |

Thanks for sharing  |
If we put together a group list, suppose we could order them like we did with the Project 4 orchid? I would love to have this one for my very own. 
Susanne, you're a genius project organizer. . .do you think you could pull off one of your major Orchid Board, Sophronitis grabs?  |

Thank you, Mauro.
I used to consider cernua the only warm growing Sophronitis species. Now apparently, alagoensis is another one.

Yes, it is, Pheli. It is native to the northeastern State of Alagoas (after which it was named, BTW). There, it is summer all the time. What they call 'winter' there is the rainy time. |
