More Lepanthes coming soon! I'll keep this thread going with what opens up gradually :)

I bet they're neat, but the photos aren't displaying.

I cannot see them either. I hope you will fix this so we can enjoy them. It would also be great to share how you grow them, too, as I have been thinking of getting more Lepanthes. One is just not enough. :)

Okay I think I fixed it, some permission issues with my OneDrive. Let me know if you still can't see them!

And yes, one is definitely not enough :)
My girlfriend got me into the miniature orchids and Lepanthes is by far my favourite genus.

Little alien orchids!

Thanks, you did fix it! Those are amazingly beautiful!

That's great! Glad you like my babies!

As to how I grow them...

Well our cold greenhouse is not ready yet, so everything is in the Warm-Intermediate greenhouse right now.
They get around 20°C daytime and 15°C nighttime temperatures, 75-80% RH, daily misting if required and decent ventilation.

L. saltatrix just arrived so we keep it in a little (open) container with sphagnum moss at the bottom to increase the humidity during the accomodation period.

It's 21:30 right now in Belgium, we just came back from the greenhouse where we found L. ionopthera x escobariana open.

Pictures will follow later, I have barbelifera, teretipetala, helgae and eciliata open as well at the moment so I need to find an hour or two of peace and quiet to take my macro pictures :)

Very nice!
