Hi guys, A picky and favourite of mine: The snake tongued lepanthes: Lepanthes ophioglossa One of the easiest lepanthes ever... Lepanthes gargoyla : Its bullet proof. Never skipped a beat. I got two keiki available for sale if people are interested. One is fully rooted on its own and separated. (btw..the leaf u see at the bottom in the pic of the L.ophioglossa is from this plant. Compare the size difference.)  cheers, Varun |

Very nice Varun! I used to grow a few Lepanthes species but sold them about 8 months ago and only kept windowsill approved orchids. Now that I have the space again I am going to be buying a few. L. gargoyla flower (back lighting makes it quite light):  Plant itself:  |

Looks awsome drew. I mounted it on cork bark. I found lepanthes love to be mounted rather than be potted. Here is the pic of my whole plant.  |

I also like mounting orchids, but tends to mean more maintenance as far as watering is concerned. I like to plant in pots then hang, net pots preferably.
They do look nice mounted, and I still have a couple mounts.

I would potentially be interested in your orchid, but tell me a little bit about it, what special conditions does it require, fertilizer requirements, humidity range, and price. thanks for your time.

Sorry for late reply. Actually...I don't tailor my conditions for orchids. I just placed them in my highland nepenthes tank..so the conditions it gets are: Media: Plant is mounted on sphagnum (roots a bit exposed) on cork bark. Now as u can see, the moss is covered by regular non-sphagnum, finer species. Fertilizer... I don't regularly fertilize...but occasionally, I use better-gro no urea orchid fert. I use a quarter teaspoon per litre of water and spray the plant thoroughly along with my other lepanthes. Humidity: Perhaps 50-60%... it is occasionally misted by my misting system once every two hours during lighting period, but rapidly dries within 15-20 min. Price..I think I bought it at 20-25$.  |
