Masdevallia curtipes (Big)
A cloud forest species distinguished by its notably short flower stems — as its Latin name suggests — which hold the flowers close to the foliage in a compact, tidy display. Blooms appear successively throughout the year, making it a reliable and charming addition to any cool-growing collection. This plant is offered in a larger-than-standard commercial size.
- Light: Moderate indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid any direct sun to prevent overheating and leaf damage.
- Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 58–68°F (14–20°C), nighttime 48–55°F (9–13°C); stable cool temperatures are essential for long-term health and blooming.
- Humidity: 70–85%; a humidifier or terrarium with constant air circulation is strongly recommended.
- Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist at all times; never allow roots to dry out completely.
Additional Notes
Found in humid montane cloud forests at elevations of 1,500–2,500 meters; best grown in small pots with fine sphagnum moss or mounted on tree fern where humidity remains consistently high.
