Masdevallia bicornis

A unique Ecuadorian species featuring flowers with a distinctive two-horned structure and a characteristic tubular form. With successive blooms emerging from compact foliage, this intermediate-growing species is highly prized by collectors

• Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade. Protect from direct sunlight which can scorch leaves.
• Temperature: Intermediate grower. Daytime 64-77°F (18-25°C), nighttime 54-64°F (12-18°C). More adaptable to varying temperatures than strict cool growers.
• Humidity: 70-85% with excellent air circulation. Good air movement is critical to prevent fungal and bacterial issues.
• Watering: Keep media consistently moist throughout the year. Water every 2-3 days depending on conditions, using pure water with low mineral content.

Additional Notes

The name "bicornis" (meaning two-horned) refers to the distinctive paired horn-like structures on the flowers. It adapts well to intermediate conditions. Best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, or in small pots with fine-grade bark mix or sphagnum moss.
