Lepanthes barbelifera

Micro-miniature Lepanthes from Ecuadorian cloud forests, characterised by its finely fringed, bearded floral segments. It grows as an epiphyte on mossy branches in cool, misty forest, forming small mats of overlapping leaves. Best cultivated cool-intermediate under low light, with saturated humidity, constant light air movement and roots that never dry completely.
