Blooming Lepanthes tracheia!

[neo-guy]

These are lepanthes species that are blooming right now. Most are in bloom almost all year around!

These are growing in my indoor Orchid case with temps of 55-80 degrees and about 70% humidity. they get misted every 1 or 2 days.

Enjoy!

Neat!

What makes the back of the leaves such a dark color? I have a restrepia in my terrarium and it's leaves have turned dark like that.

Amazing colours!!!! I deefinately want some!!! hehe...

Joanne, the red pigment has to do with the increase (i guess) of light the plant receives! If they get in lower light they return to green! (plz correct me if I am wrong...)
