Warczewiczella discolor

Warczewiczella discolor is found in Costa Rica and Panama, growing in tree trunks in lower mountain rainforests at 700 to 2,300 meters (2.300 to 7,550 feet). They flower in spring through the fall. Growing temperatures should be maintained year-round. Give less water and fertilizer in winter but never allow it to dry out completely. They do best in a basket with some sphagnum moss mixed with bark.
