Pyp. Mariposa is one of few members of the genus Pyschopsis, which includes just four species and their hybrids. These plants are commonly known as “butterfly orchids” for the insects their flowers resemble.
Psychopsis are from tropical origins, so tend to grow best in warm conditions with high humidity and good air circulation.
These plants do not like to have their roots disturbed, so repot only when necessary and handle gingerly. Repotting should be done when potting mix or media has become stale. Do not repot while plants are in spike/flower.
*Note that it is possible for the leaves to be slightly curled upon purchase.
