Name: Lepanthes hexapus Luer & R.Escobar
Synonyme:
Etymologie: hexapus = sechsfüßig — bezieht sich auf die außergewöhnliche Struktur der zwei Petalen (Kronblätter), die jeweils in drei schlanke, fadenförmige Segmente geteilt sind und zusammen wie sechs kleine Füßchen wirken.
Vermehrung: Aus Samen
Erstbeschreibung: 1984 von Carl A. Luer und Rodrigo Escobar in Orquideología (16: 144).
Herkunft / Verbreitung: Kolumbien bis Zentral-Ecuador.
Standort / Habitat: Epiphytisch wachsend in feuchten Nebelwäldern in Höhenlagen von ca. 850 bis 2.100 Metern. Sie gedeiht in kühlen bis temperierten Klimazonen mit ganzjährig extrem hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit und stetiger, sanfter Luftbewegung im schattigen Unterholz.
Beschreibung & Anmerkungen: Lepanthes hexapus ist eine faszinierende Miniatur-Orchidee mit schlanken, aufrechten Trieben, die an der Basis von 5 bis 6 feinen, bewimperten Blattscheiden (Lepanthiform-Scheiden) umgeben sind. Jeder Trieb trägt ein einzelnes, starr-ledriges, eiförmiges Blatt, das oft eine attraktive, purpurfarbene Nervatur aufweist. Der dichte Blütenstand ist kürzer als das Blatt und bringt nacheinander ca. 5 mm kleine, hochkomplexe Blüten hervor. Die schmalen Sepalen sind weitgehend frei und am Rand fein gezähnt. Das auffälligste Merkmal sind die dreigeteilten, fadenförmigen Petalen, die der Blüte ihr charakteristisches, fast insektengleiches Aussehen verleihen.

In der Kultur benötigt diese sensible Hochland-Art konstant kühl-temperierte Bedingungen und verträgt keine dauerhafte Sommerhitze. Da sie keine Speicherorgane besitzt, darf das Substrat (vorzugsweise lebendes Sphagnum-Moos bei aufgebundener Kultur auf Kork oder feiner Rinde) niemals ganz austrocknen. Eine konstant hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit von über 80 % und eine feine, kontinuierliche Luftzirkulation sind absolut essenziell, um Fäulnis zu verhindern und ein gesundes Wachstum zu sichern.

Great for hair and skin. Great buy.
These pillow cases are great for my hair and skin. They look good, hold up well in the washer and dryer, and the price is great. They are cooling. Of course I wish they could be more cooling, but honestly I'm not sure that's even possible. Great pillow cases. Already bought more for other heads. Would buy again.

Hot hot hot. Side sleepers will hate it
At first touch, these are the coldest pillowcases I own … but only for seconds. Once you actually lay on them, within seconds they adjust to your body temp, the heat feels trapped, my head begins to feel hotter than before I laid down - which has in turn caused me loathe these pillow cases. I hate that I have missed the return window. Would never buy again, would never recommend. My satin ones aren’t even this hot! I gave them the good ole 30-day try. Side sleepers - if you are like me and sleep on your side with arm tucked under pillow - flipping this pillow over in hopes of a cold side - forget it, it’s already hot from your arm.

Nice but dissapointing
So it sometimes stays cool but if it’s under a blanket and you have your body on it at all it will get warm but the spots you don’t use will get cool sometimes. I am very disappointed in the material though because it’s like my dry skin scratched the pillow case all over which makes me question it and I don’t think I would buy again.

Cool, Comfortable, and Worth Every Penny!
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
I’m honestly impressed with these pillowcases! From the first night, I could feel the difference—they stay noticeably cool, which is perfect if you tend to sleep hot like I do. The fabric feels silky smooth against the skin without being slippery, and it’s really gentle on both my hair and face. I’ve also noticed I wake up less sweaty and more comfortable overall. They fit my pillows well and don’t slip off during the night, which is a big plus. After washing, they held up great—no fading, shrinking, or loss of softness. If you’re looking for pillowcases that actually help keep you cool and comfortable through the night, these are definitely worth it. I’ll be buying more!
