Pleurothallis restrepioides
20th March 2023
I have previously had some success growing P. restrepioides 'Dragonstone' although it is now dead. I think part of the problem was my poor cultivation technique
and I hope I have improved it now. When I was offered a small plant of the species this spring, it seemed like a good opportunity to try again.
The species comes from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru at altitudes up to 2,900m. In habitat it will experience low temperatures at night but it might not tolerate
the nsustained low temperature of a British winter.
