Masdevallia falcago

This charming miniature species features delicate flowers with curved, sickle-shaped sepals that give the plant its distinctive appearance, blooming sequentially on short inflorescences when provided with cool, humid conditions.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50-70% shade cloth. Avoid direct sun exposure which can scorch leaves.
• Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 59-72°F (15-22°C), nighttime 50-59°F (10-15°C). Benefits from 10-15°F day-night differential.
