Pleurothallis applanata

An Ecuadorian Pleurothallis with no georeferenced wild records in our data, so its conditions are inferred from the genus and a regional climate point on the eastern Andean slope. Treat it like other montane Pleurothallis: shade, constant moisture, high humidity and intermediate temperatures with no dry rest.

Where it grows wild

No locality data was available. Ecuadorian Pleurothallis are mostly epiphytes in wet montane and cloud forest, and this profile assumes the same.

Unknown for this species; the climate point used is about 1,200 m on the eastern Andean slope.
