Orchid not in bloom.
 
 
Leptotes unicolor is a miniature epiphytic orchid species originating from humid environments such asBrazil and Paraquay. Happiest when mounted on a branch, stick, cork or bark with some flat moss to cushion the roots, these orchids are pretty easy to manage, favouring and flourishing in bright indirect sunlight.
They flourish in a range of temperatures from warm to cool though they prefer not reaching temperatures lower than 10°C. Preferably water this plant with rainwater and then monitor closely to assess whether the roots have dried out before misting or watering again as they do not benefit from too much moisture. This orchid also appreciates a fair amount of air movement and can bloom in spring, summer and autumn, producing a sweet floral scent and fruits are used as a substitute for vanilla in milk and ice cream.
