Pleurothallis andreaskayi

A rarely recorded Pleurothallis with no usable wild locality data, so this profile is built from what is typical for the genus: small epiphytes of cool, constantly wet Andean cloud forest. Treat it like other cool-to-intermediate pleurothallids: shade, steady moisture, high humidity and moving air.
