Masdevallia staaliana 'Yellow'

A select yellow-flowered clone of Masd. staaliana, a compact species from the cloud forests of Ecuador. Known for its tubular flowers produced on short, wiry spikes, this 'Yellow' selection stands out for its uncommon coloration — a warm, clear yellow that is rarely seen in the species.

• Light: 70–80% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the foliage and affect flower color.
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C) — Cool grower; thrives with consistent cool temperatures and good air movement year-round.
• Humidity: 80–90%; strong air circulation is essential to prevent crown rot and fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist at all times; water 2–3× per week. This species has no pseudobulbs and cannot tolerate drying out between waterings.

Additional Notes
