Plant information: Orchid 'Pleurothallis picta'

Due to the large natural habitat of this plant, namely Central America and northern South America, this mini orchid is very adaptable. In the wild, Pleurothallis picta grows on (fern)trees in moist forests. This plant prefers a light spot in a terrarium, growing mounted on a tree fern or bark. The roots should always be able to absorb enough water and dry slightly between waterings. Once the plant is accustomed to its environment, it will flower abundantly with small, striking yellow flowers.
