Regular price $75.00 Sale

Origins: Created by Pam Koide

Bloom: Medium length simple (occasionally compound) inflorescence producing pale pink bracts and purple tubular flowers

Light: Strong indirect light, partial direct light okay

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 2 hours as necessary.  Be sure to dry the center of the plant completely if you fully submerge it in water to avoid rotting

 

This hybrid is densely lepidote like both of its parents, and maintains more of a closed upright shape like T. mitlaensis.  The bloom more closely resembles mitlaensis, but the bracts are slightly inflated by the chiapensis influence.  A nice hardy little hybrid that can handle strong light and sustained dry periods
