Ah, such a delicate beauty. It looks absolutely tiny too.

Wonderful color!

I recently mounted two of those on a short cypress knee. One was like that, the other more orange. So far, so good.

I've been seeing this species being sold by many vendors lately. How is it to culture?

 

[Erythrone]

Fairly easy to grow for me... But it needs a lot of water. I grow it with intermediate temperatures, but rather cool in winter (10 to 15 C at night) but the pot is on a heating mat. Lights: T5, 4 ft long, 4 bulbs, over a 30 inches shielf. The plant is far away from the bulbs (circa 12 inches I woud say). Potting mix: straight sphagnum moss in a clay pot.

Erythrone, is it a heavy feeder?

 

[Erythrone]

jjkOC, no it is not a heavy feeder. I feed with every water at 5 or 10 ppm N.
