Pleurothallis pisinna
Temperature range Warm to hot growing conditions (given low elevation) Humidity range High humidity (typical of humid forest understory) Light level Shaded to dappled light, under canopy Air circulation Good air-movement important (to avoid stagnation) Watering Frequent moisture, mount or very porous substrate - no dry periods Substrate Fine moss on bark/cork, small branch – mount preferred Fertilization Very light, during growth; standard for miniature orchids Conservation note Native to low-elevation humid forests which are under pressure — ex-situ cultivation supports conservation
