    Default Lepanthes calodictyon

    Intermediate grower.
    Most of the Lepanthes grower will have one just for the foliage. The flower is just a bonus.

    That is stunning! The little bloom is a bonus, but the foliage is really cool alone.

    Cheers,

    This one has been on my want list for a while ... don't see it offered much and then, too, there's the "fear" that I might not be able to accomodate its needs.

    It is not a cool grower but it does need 70%+ humidity year round and good water. Once in a while, you can get this species from one or two S. American growers when they come to U.S. for shows.
