Masdevallia juan-albertoi
A unique species that features flowers with the fused sepal tube and the characteristic tapered tails of the genus, produced in slender, erect individual inflorescences, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
- Light: Grow under 50–70% shade cloth; direct sun exposure causes rapid leaf scorch and must be avoided.
- Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 57–68°F (14–20°C), nights 45–54°F (7–12°C). A pronounced day-night differential supports vigorous growth and consistent flowering.
- Humidity: Requires 75–90% relative humidity; humidity trays or a humidifier with good air circulation keep conditions optimal.
- Watering: Maintain even moisture year-round; mounted plants need more frequent watering than potted ones, with a modest reduction during the coolest months.
Additional Notes
Native to Peru at elevations of 2,000–3,000 meters in cool cloud-forest habitats, named in honor of Juan Alberto Arias. Best grown in small pots with fine bark or sphagnum moss, or mounted on cork bark or tree fern.
