Orchid not in bloom.

Pot 2.5"

 

The Sophronitis cernua × sib represents sibling crosses of one of the world's smallest orchids, producing 1-2cm vibrant orange-red flowers on miniature 3-6cm plants. Native to Brazil's coastal forests, this species thrives in bright conditions (4,000-6,000 lux) and moderate temperatures (22-28°C summer days) with consistently high humidity (70-85%). Best grown mounted on cork with minimal moss, it requires excellent air circulation to prevent rot in its tiny root system. While rare in cultivation due to its specific needs and slow growth, its dazzling autumn blooms and compact habit make it a prized specimen for serious collectors. Water to maintain light moisture without saturation, and provide a slight winter cooldown to mimic its natural habitat.
