Taeniophyllum

Grow Taeniophyllum mounted on a small slab or hardwood twig without any moisture-retaining material at the roots. Provide warm temperatures, medium light levels, and regular watering throughout the year. The plants are particularly susceptible to drying out during shipping. When this happens the connection between the roots and the stem often dies resulting in loss of the plant. Most Taeniophyllum produce ephemeral flowers which open in the afternoon and fall off the plant the following morning. Some species are gregarious flowering and open their flowers as a result of an environmental stimulus such as the drop in temperature coincidental with a rain storm.
