Pleurothallis baudoensis

A Colombian Pleurothallis from the very wet Chocó forests of the Pacific slope and western Andes. It needs constant moisture, high humidity and shade, with warm to intermediate temperatures and no dry season. Nothing beyond its description is published, so care follows the measured climate and the genus.
