Sophronitis brevipedunculata - Short Stemmed Sophrontis


This one comes from altitudes of around 1000 - 2000 metres, moisture coming from the ever present clouds

so it thrives in cool to intermediate climates, it prefers bright, indirect light and excellent air circulation. 

Water moderately, allowing roots to dry slightly between waterings. Mounted or in bark-based media, it flourishes best with high humidity and regular fertilization during the growing season.
