Lepanthes cascajalensis x Lepanthes pelvis

Lepanthes cascajalensis x Lepanthes pelvis

A hybrid of Lths. cascajalensis × Lths. pelvis, producing fleshy, pubescent flowers that emerge directly from the leaf surface with an erect acuminate dorsal sepal and spreading laterals in warm amber-brown tones. The deep crimson central petals and lip create a bold contrast, and the plant blooms freely across multiple leaves simultaneously — a reliably floriferous hybrid of great character.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the glossy foliage.
  • Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an Intermediate grower that appreciates moderate temperatures with a slight drop at night and good air circulation.
  • Humidity: 75–90%; high humidity is essential to sustain the fleshy flower texture and keep roots healthy.
  • Watering: Keep roots evenly moist; water frequently in small amounts with excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Best mounted on cork bark or grown in a small net pot with fine sphagnum moss to maintain root moisture and aeration. A closed terrarium or enclosed glass container makes an excellent environment for this hybrid, though it can also thrive in any humid, well-ventilated setup. Ships bare root, well-established.
