    Adorable, and great photo of such tiny flowers. Just when I thought I was running out of space on my windowsill, you come along with pictures of these great minis! There's always more room for minis!

    Not much bigger than a quarter? Wow.

    How do you grow this? As a brazilian is it a hot, bright mounted plant?

    Thanks.

    Not all of them are warm growers, Derek. Many Brazillian species like to be Intermedia/cool. I grow this one on the cool side of intermedia, slightly dry out between waterings and bright shade(~1500FC). Edit: it is on stick mount
