This little gem blooms in the late winter for me; this year, due to a year's neglect, I had only two inflorescences of 1" flowers. Last year (whole plant pic) I had five inflorescences. I'm not much of a pleuro fan but when I saw this on a sales table a few years back I just had to have it.

Nice. How temperature tolerant is it?
Winter lows 55-57, summer highs that high up in the GH probably 85.

This is a choice Pleuro species. Good job!:clap:

Hi!
I was given a Pleuro sp. without ID and the leaves look identical!
it has not bloomed yet for me, makes a lot of keikis instead of flowers. It is by a eastern windowsill with frosted glass. A Restrepia trichoglossa blooms easily next to this one. I love those flowers and I would be happy to see mine bloom!
wonder what I should do. Leaf is a similar green as the one on this thread.

Maybe I'm wrong on this one, but this plant seems to produce keikies like crazy and no blooms when it is overfed.
