Masdevallia Gold Dust

A captivating primary hybrid resulting from the cross between Masd. rex and Masd. veitchiana, combining the best traits of both parents to create flowers with stunning golden-yellow tones and distinctive spotted patterns.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50-70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate grower. Daytime 59-75°F (15-24°C), nighttime 50-63°F (10-17°C). Tolerates slightly warmer conditions than cool-growing species while still benefiting from a 10-15°F day-night differential.
• Humidity: 65-80% with good air movement; maintain through humidity trays, humidifiers, or greenhouse environments.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist throughout the year; mounted plants need daily misting, potted specimens require watering every 2-3 days depending on medium.

Additional Notes

Hybrid vigor makes this cultivar more forgiving than its parent species. Grows well mounted on tree fern or cork bark, or potted in fine bark mix with sphagnum moss.
