General Information and Care: Dresslerella cloesii is a rare and stunning orchid that loves terrarium type conditions. Like other Dresslerellas, this species has extremely pubescent leaves. This species has gorgeous bright green small oblong leaves and stunning dark maroon flowers. It is an epiphyte so will do best mounted in a terrarium. It would prefer to be in an area that receives medium to low light, and stays slightly moist but not overly wet. The clone that we are offering seems to bloom 2-3 times per year in our display terrarium and even under ideal conditions is a slower grower.
