and was able to pick it up at the sale.
Lepanthes was never going to be an easy Orchid for me to keep happy . Trying to convince it was still in the cloud forest of Ecuador . But I HAD to have it .
I tried it in one of my small terrariums , the leaves started to BLACKEN , Maybe to WET ?
Then I had it in my sunroom . .. CRISPY LEAVES... not enough humidity or bad water ?
Lepanthes needs are : Warmth, High Humidity, brist air circulation and medium light .
Not very attractive , but the front is just a plastic sheet with flappy bits for better .. AIR CIRCULATION . |
And the humidity is heading towards 80 % which is just what the Lepanthes love. |
Oh my, you are totally getting the bug... LOL! I should introduce you to my friend Hollye - she is right there with you. She is constantly making terrariums, etc.
