Well-established, blooming-size in 2.25" pots.
This mini-miniature, epiphytic orchid species is native to the high-elevation cloud forests of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Platystele misera is highly prized by micro-orchid enthusiasts for its continuous blooming habits and delicate, translucent flowers. It is an "ever-blooming" species. Mature plants produce new flower spikes before the previous ones finish, keeping the orchid almost constantly in bud or bloom.
Care: Prefers cool to intermediate conditions. Ideal daytime temperatures are around 20°C (68°F), dropping to 12°C (54°F) at night. It should be protected from temperatures exceeding 25°C (77°F), high humidity levels between 70% and 80%, and constant, gentle airflow is crucial to prevent stagnant moisture from causing rot or fungal diseases. Keep the growing medium consistently damp but never soggy. Partial shade or low-intensity light (around 50–100 PPFD). Keep it entirely out of direct sunlight to avoid scorching and drying out the tiny leaves.

Pleurothallis picta is a tiny orchid that lacks pseudobulbs. Instead, it grows on slender stems called ramicauls, each topped with a single, leathery, spoon-shaped leaf. The flowers are correspondingly tiny—usually less than 1 cm—but are produced in abundance on thin, wiry racemes that rise above the foliage. The translucent yellow or cream flowers are delicately "painted" with reddish-purple or maroon stripes and spots.
Care: Cool-Warm temps, indirect light-shade, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
