    Really nice! Any culture tips? I’ve got one and it’s not doing well, not sure if it’s temps, light, or what.

    Awesome arrow-shaped flowers! What is it mounted on and how big are the leaves??.

    I find it a very easy Lepanthes to grow and it is always flowering. Because it grows at 1700m I grow it cool and of course high humidity at 85% minimum. Extra light in winter. Fertilizer every 2 weeks at 120ppm.

    It's mounted on Robinia bark. Leaves are between half and three quarter of a centimeter.

    I agree. and the name is also very appropriate, golondrina meaning swallow in Spanish. Just take look at that amazing lip!
