Pleurothallis radula
November 29, 2012
Pleurothallis radula Luer 1979.
A beautiful terrestrial that grows in Costa Rica at elevations of 1500 – 2000 meters. Cool growing.
I grow this species in a clay pot filled with Xaxim and Sphagnum moss. Needs a lot of humidity to flower. Grow it 150 cm underneath the lamps 3x Osram Dulux 80W) so it´s satisfied with low light.
Minimum temperatures in winter +10°C to +12°C and maximum in winter +19°C. Lot´s of humidity and air movement.

Miniature orchids 
Hi Pontus,
Nice to greet you.
My name is Luis and I am a Peruvian botanist working on orchid taxonomy. I have managed to publish some new species such as Epidendrum carpishense and Andinia barba-caprina, among others.
Currently I continue working on the description of more new species of orchids. And one of them is a yellow Pleurothallis, which I am comparing with Pleurothallis radula. For this reason, I am writing to ask you to please share with me your magnificent photos of P. radula, to include them in my article, respecting the copyright.
I will be attentive to your reply.
Best regards
