'''''Soterosanthus''''' was recently separated out of the genus ''[[Sievekingia]]'' because of its upright infloresence. Flowers are somewhat similar to ''Sievekingia'' as is the plant stature, being on the small side, around 6" tall. Plants are semi-deciduous and warmth tolerant. Grow in small pots of medium grade bark mix under same conditions as for Gongora; shaded light, even moisture, drier in winter. From Colombia. It is a rarely seen relative of ''[[Stanhopea]]''.
For relatives of '''''Soterosanthus''''' see ''[[Stanhopeinae]]''.
