Columnea ochroleuca

A Panamanian Columnea first described by Oersted and transferred by Klotzsch and Hanstein in 1865, with no georeferenced wild records in GBIF. Its habitat and elevation are unknown, so the conditions below are genus-level estimates for a humid-forest epiphyte rather than measurements.

Where it grows wild

No habitat detail is published or recorded; like most Columnea it is presumed an epiphyte on mossy trunks in humid forest.

Elevation unknown; no wild records carry coordinates or altitude.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
