Care information

Marcgravia sp. mini mindo is a miniature creeping epiphyte in the family Marcgraviaceae, collected from the cloud forest locality of Mindo in northwestern Ecuador. It produces small, rounded to obovate leaves on slender reddish stems, shingling flat against the climbing surface as it ascends.

You will receive a single cutting, grower's choice. Listing photos are representative of the approximate size and form you will receive.

**Habitat Locality:** Mindo, northwestern Ecuador; a cloud forest region on the western Andean slopes at approximately 1,200 meters elevation.

**Light Requirements:** Low to moderate indirect light. Performs well in terrarium conditions.
**Humidity Requirements:** High, approximately 70 to 90 percent.
**Temperature Range:** 65 to 80°F (18 to 27°C). Keep above 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Creeping epiphytic climber; foliage shingles flat against the climbing surface.
**Soil:** Well-draining epiphytic mix with orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite.
**pH:** Slightly acidic, approximately 5.5 to 6.5.
**Size:** Leaves typically 0.5 to 1 cm.

Plant Details
Airflow
Low — Specifically suited for sealed, stagnant environments. These plants do not require active ventilation or fans to prevent bacterial or fungal "melt."
Family
Marcgraviaceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
80–100% — The "Sweet Spot" for most rare tropicals and shinglers. This high-saturation environment is essential for aerial root attachment to hardscape and ensures that delicate foliage maintains its turgidity and sheen.
Lighting
Moderate — Prefers bright, filtered, or indirect light. This is the "sweet spot" for most terrarium species; however, direct sun or high-intensity LEDs will scorch delicate juvenile leaves.
PH
5.5–6.5 — Acidic (Optimal): The “Goldilocks” zone for most tropical terrarium plants, including Marcgravia. This range ensures maximum nutrient availability and mimics the natural decomposition of leaf litter on the rainforest floor.

Medium
Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
