Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range Cool 70-52°F, cooler season Cool-Cold 64-44°F. Easy to grow like other cool growing pleurothallids. Mounted on a cedar shingle with a layer of sphagnum.
 
Comments: Pod parent plant: Miniature species grows to about three inches tall. Produces unusual blooms successively on a creeping inflorescence. The flowers are dark purple and only open a tiny amount at the tip of the flower.

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: 158 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/07/2017 through 03/13/2018)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 3 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/07/2017 through 05/31/2019)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 30 mm (05/31/2019)
