Pleurothallis luteola

Origin: Central and South America

Species: about 300 (natural)

Special features: Many species come from cool cloud forests in tropical mountains, others from the warmer forests of flatter coastal regions. Can flower all year round and have no dormant period.

Location: no intense sun except during the winter months. Well suited for north windows. Rooms with high humidity are particularly popular.

Temperature: 15°C to 25°C, can tolerate a drop to 10°C at night

Watering: keep evenly moist, avoid severe dryness, also spray from 25°C. Spraying at low temperatures and little air movement easily causes leaf drop from fungal infection.

Fertilize: 1-2 times a month (in half the specified concentration)
