Pleurothallis stricta
The genus Pleurothallis contains More than 1000 species growing in all parts of the subtropical and tropical Americas. There are very diverse plant forms and culture requirements from moss-like plants to large ranging plants of several feet in height.
Pleurothallis stricta grows in Colombia and Ecuador in cloud forests at high elevations. It is cool growing, needs low light and even watering.
Bought this at the San Francisco Orchid Society member sale table to divide.
10/06/2008 - I divided the collection plant that I have just bought and found the roots were poor. Moved from seedling mix with lava to pea gravel. This is two small pieces with almost no roots at all.
TRIBE: Epidendreae SUBTRIBE: Pleurothallidinae
