Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). A neat miniature that likes it moist but very well-drained. A mixture of sponge rock, sphagnum and fine bark suits it well. It flowers any time during the warm months of the year and likes to rest during the winter. I haven't tried it mounted and wouldn't recommend it as I have heard it has a reputation of being temperamental when disturbing its roots. I haven't had trouble dividing it. And it may do fine when mounted as a seedling.
Comments: Parent plant: Plant is the offspring of 'L&R' x 'Mountain'. Miniature.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. This orchid grows near 5600 ft. (1700 m) in the
cooler mountains near the southeast coast in the States of Espirito Santo,
Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, and Minas Gerais. Miller & Warren
(1994) reported that Promenaea xanthina is common in the Macaé de Cima
Forest Reserve above 3300 ft. (1000 m), but that it is never found in
another nearby, lower-elevation valley. These plants usually grow on
trees, but occasionally they grow on rocks.
