Restrepia sanguinea
The genus Restrepia (Rstp) contains 30 or 40 species found from Mexico to Northern Argentina. Their culture is similar to small Pleurothallis species and grow well with small pots, high humidity and shady conditions.
Restrepia sanguinea grows in Ecuador and Venezuela. It is cold to cool growing.
Ron Parsons commented that Pleuros can be propogated from a previously bloomed leaf. I placed one in a saucer of pea gravel and gave it reduced light and regular watering.
10/03/2008 - The leaf has sprouted and I took a new picture.
07/10/2008 - I removed a previously bloomed leaf from the collection plant.
