The temp designations are somewhat broad as I understand it, but there should be some searchable sources online that give actual temps.
I don't doubt that Ecuagenra makes solid environmental suggestions based on their experiences and data, but I like to cross-check info before getting orchids. Although L. teliopogoniflora has been given a 'C' for cool here, orchidspecies.com would give this one an 'H' for hot.
IOSPE PHOTOS Perhaps this orchid is found at both low and high elevations, making it adaptable to a wider variety of conditions?? That or someone has incorrect info. which could be based on a typo or growing experience versus actual wild growing conditions.
Andy's Orchids and orchid forums are also good places to check for cultural info before selecting plants... the more sources agree on something, the more I would trust it. For instance, here is another source that does not list the plant as a cool grower:
Lepanthes telipogoniflora If anyone is interested in getting some Lepanthes to grow in dart tanks or anywhere for that matter, I would recommend searching them by name.
