Sophronitis cernua ‘Colibri’ × self

Sophronitis cernua ‘Colibri’ × self is a beautiful miniature orchid obtained through self-pollination of the selected cultivar ‘Colibri’. Native to Brazil, this botanical species is particularly appreciated for its vibrant orange to scarlet-red flowers, which create an impressive display in proportion to the plant’s compact size.

This charming epiphytic orchid develops small pseudobulbs and short, fleshy leaves. Despite its miniature growth habit, it can produce several brilliantly coloured flowers, making it especially attractive to collectors.

Sophronitis cernua prefers intermediate to warm temperatures, bright, filtered light, moderate to high humidity, and excellent air circulation. Regular watering is recommended during active growth, allowing the roots to dry slightly between waterings.

As these plants originate from self-pollination, some natural variation in flower colour and shape may occur.

With its brilliant flowers, miniature dimensions, and fascinating botanical characteristics, Sophronitis cernua ‘Colibri’ × self is a delightful addition to any collection of miniature orchids.
