Masdevallia sanctae-fidei

A striking miniature orchid from Andean cloud forests, prized for its vividly colored blooms and compact, tidy growth habit. The flowers display the classic Masdevallia form — fused sepals tapering into slender tails — in warm, luminous tones that make this species a standout in any cool-growing collection.

• Light: Low to moderate light; 70–80% shade cloth. Avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); cool grower. Cool nights are essential — avoid prolonged temperatures above 75°F (24°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%. Maintain high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times. Water more frequently in warm months, slightly less in winter.
