Habitat
Bifrenaria harrisoniae is endemic to Brazil. This species is an epiphyte and lithophyte and inhabits cracks on exposed rocky outcrops and cliffs. This species is an occasional epiphyte found on low-lying shrubs at elevations between 200 and 700 metres.
Description
The pseudobulbs are unmistakable as they are 4 angled. Inflorescences measure 5 cm and bear 1-2 flowers. Plants bloom during the spring.
Care Instructions
This species is an excellent choice for terrariums, paludarium, greenhouses, indoor spaces, or shaded outdoor gardens in the summer. Its compact size and perfume make it a standout plant in any collection.
Care Instructions:
Bifrenaria harrisoniae thrives in moderate shade, though it can tolerate higher light levels. It prefers a well-draining, open potting mix, such as a mixed fine and medium orchid bark with added perlite and charcoal for aeration. Water the plant consistently, keeping the soil lightly moist but not soggy, and reduce watering during cooler months when the plant's growth slows. Avoid spraying the leaves during cooler weather as this causes fungal spotting.
Maintain a warm to intermediate environment with daytime temperatures ranging between 22-30 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures ranging between 14-20 degrees Celsius. High humidity is essential for this species. Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, as it is sensitive to fluctuations. Fertilize every watering during the growing season with a much diluted, balanced fertilizer.
