Masdevallia Harlequin

A vibrant hybrid resulting from the cross between Masd. yungasensis and Masd. uniflora, showcasing multicolored flowers with striking patterns and contrasting hues that live up to its playful name. The vigorous growth and enhanced adaptability make it an excellent choice for growers.

• 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 strict cool growers 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 year-round; 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.
