Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F). VERY temperature tolerant. Very intolerant of dissolved salts in water.
Comments: Parent plant: The plant has 34 total growths and 4 flowers. Even so, it fits nicely on a 3x3 inch mount. Each growth is about an inch high. Flower shape is the best that I have ever seen. Flower span is a bit over 2 inches across the petals. Surprisingly easy to grow. Miniature.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
210 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/26/2006 through 05/05/2006)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 10 - 25 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/05/2006 through 01/02/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 25 mm (01/02/2007)

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. Plants grow in the states of Rio de Janeiro and
São Paulo, where they are found in the mountain range known as the Serra
da Mantiqueira. These mountains lie behind and up to 50 miles (80 km)
further inland than the coastal range known as Serra do Mar. Where the
crests of the Serra da Mantiqueira rise to at least 5000 ft. (1520 m),
forests of both hardwood trees and relatives of pine trees are found on
both sides of the ridge crests. As moisture laden air is lifted over these
crests, the moisture condenses and is deposited as rain and mist on the
windward side of the range and to a lesser extent on the leeward slopes.
In addition, there are creek gulch forests, which are permanent forests of
hardwoods in deep gulches behind the ridges where heavy runoff has carved
deep ravines. Moisture from the permanent creeks and water seepages within
these ravines sustain the same type forests as found along the ridges.
Duveen (1977) reported a colony of these orchids growing in the same type
of habitat in the Organ Mountains near Petropolis. Plants were at about
4000 ft. (1220 m) close to the crests of ridges on slopes facing the
Atlantic ocean.
Hadrolaelia (Sophronitis) mantiqueirae grows in cool, misty, humid
conditions on lichen covered trees within a few hundred feet of either
side of the ridge crests and on moss-shrouded trees in the creek gulches.
Collections have been reported from 4000–6200 ft. (1220–1890 m) but plants
seem to be more common at about 5000 ft. (1520 m).
