Regular price $65.00 Sale

Origins: Pam Koide hybrid

Bloom: Compound inflorescence with multiple red/pink bracts and light purple tubular flowers

Light: Strong indirect or filtered light, some direct light okay

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary.  Be sure to dry thoroughly if submerged to avoid rot

 

This hybrid mostly resembles pueblensis when not in bloom, but the bloom really reveals the streptophylla (along with the semi-bulbous base and slightly recurved leaves).  Leaves are very scurfy and lepidote.  Grows fairly slow in my experience
