Thanks Drew.

A friend was over the other day looking at my tank and he asked why there are so many bugs on my leaves. Took a minute to figure out he was talking about my lepanthes blooms

I like your friend! As long as he didn't think these were "bad" bugs! Did you get this one from Ecuagenera? Does it grow in the same conditions as your dresserella caesariata?

I did get his one from Ecuagenera and the conditions are similar as they are in the same tank. It's mounted closer to the lights and it's on a piece of tree fern that in turn is against my cork background in a spot that is constantly wet. The leaf is a new growth so I'm not sure how long it will retain that nice color or if it's because of it's proximity to the lights. All in all a bit wetter, warmer and brighter than the Dresslarella.
