any and all tips appreciated😁

found growing wild in a dry patch of land in San Luis Obispo, CA

planted this guy ~2 weeks ago, pushing out new growth and roots.

i know they can handle quite a bit of sun, i see giant thaumatophyllum everywhere around me growing in full california heat!

gets full morning sun until around 1pm then is shaded the rest of the day, zone 10a

as long as i keep him hydrated will he be fine?

thanks everyone !

ALL tips appreciated, i found almost no info about caring for this species online, and only met with people completely unable to grow it in ambient conditions😀

i love the new growth on these guys, i recently saw a few of these specimens on my trip recently to Ecuador and fell in love !

any tips appreciated😁 my first lepanthes !

do you say lin-e-ARE-is or lin-e-AIR-is?

found on the coastal cliffs of Southern California

a tubercle is a rounded growth of plant tissue, usually found above the soil surface.

many plant families have evolved this completely separately, and for different purposes, mostly nutrient and water storage.

on C. woodii, they allow for easy of propagation, as well as trout tolerance !

Paphiopedilum delenatii

A. crystallinum, leaf has been coming in upside down, not too worried, just a little confused
