Lepanthes calodictyon


Lepanthes calodictyon, originally uploaded by Duane McDowell.


This is the most commonly grown of the Lepanthes species.  It is one of the easiest to grow well, and it blooms just about continuously.  It is, of course, grown primarily for its foliage.  I grow mine in a small chunk of tree fern that I've drilled a hole in.  I wrapped the roots in sphagnum and put them into the hole in the tree fern, so it's really like a small tree fern pot.
I grow on the cool side of intermediate in a terrarium.  I water daily.
