    Default Pleurothallis restrepioides

    I get tons of keikis and very few flower spikes on this species. I think I need to figure out the culture better.

    Well, the flowers are cool. Does it tolerate heat well?

    Cheers,

    Hi Ron,

    My understanding is this species is rather inclined to keiki. I've seen a few mature plants, and they all have been loaded with them. I begged a keiki off one that a member of my OS had. His plant had the odd flowering spike on it, but not many, and it was a really big plant. So, it may not be your culture. Indeed, from what little I can see of the plant itself, yours looks great!

    Cheers,
    Rob
