Masdevallia Dean Haas 'Rachel'

This exceptional cultivar of the hybrid between Masd. Copper Angel and Masd. Angel Glow produces stunning flowers with superior substance and form. The blooms are held on sturdy stems and display the refined qualities inherited from both parents, selected for exceptional presentation and vigor.

• Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade, similar to conditions under a 50-70% shade cloth. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate leaves.
• Temperature: Intermediate grower - Days 59-75°F (15-24°C), Nights 50-59°F (10-15°C). Consistent temperatures are essential for healthy growth and flowering. A 10-15°F (5-8°C) day-night differential promotes blooming.
• Humidity: 70-85% with constant air circulation to prevent fungal issues. Use humidity trays, room humidifiers, or terrarium culture to maintain adequate moisture levels. Good air movement is critical to prevent rot.
• Watering: Keep consistently moist year-round but never waterlogged. Water frequency depends on mounting medium - mounted plants may need daily misting, potted plants every 2-3 days. Reduce watering slightly in winter but never allow to dry completely.
