Masdevallia Crystal Follansbee Pink

This stunning hybrid between Masd. Bella Donna and Masd. amabilis produces elegant flowers with crystalline texture and graceful form. The compact growth habit and successive blooming create a beautiful display, with flowers emerging on stems that extend above the foliage throughout much of the year.

• Light: Bright shade to filtered light conditions, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate grower: daytime temperatures of 55-75°F (13-24°C) with nighttime drops to 50-60°F (10-16°C). Tolerates slightly warmer conditions than many cool-growing Masdevallias.
• Humidity: Maintain 65-80% relative humidity with excellent air circulation around the plant. Use fans to ensure constant gentle air movement, preventing water accumulation on foliage.
• Watering: Keep media consistently moist throughout the year without allowing it to become soggy. Reduce watering frequency slightly during winter months while maintaining high ambient humidity levels.

Additional Notes

The delicate flower form and crystalline quality are inherited from Masd. amabilis, while the vigorous growth comes from Masd. Bella Donna. Best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, or in small pots with fine-grade bark mix or sphagnum moss for optimal drainage.
