Pleurothallis bulbosa

A Colombian Pleurothallis known here from a single wild record at about 3,000 m in the Eastern Cordillera near the Bogotá plateau. That places it among the cold-growing pleurothallids: cool days, chilly nights and steady moisture all year. Little is published on the species itself, so this profile leans on the measured site and on how high-Andean Pleurothallis grow.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte or occasional lithophyte on mossy trunks and branches in high montane Andean forest and forest edges, as most cold-growing Pleurothallis are. Not confirmed for this species.

The only record sits at about 3,020 m; treat it as a cold-growing, high-elevation plant.
