Masdevallia Denis Roessiger

This outstanding primary hybrid between Masd. coccinea and Masd. rex produces vibrant flowers with excellent substance and form. The blooms are held on sturdy stems and display the best qualities of both parents, creating a spectacular presentation that stands out in any collection.

• Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade, similar to conditions under a 50-70% shade cloth. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: Intermediate to cool grower - Days 59-72°F (15-22°C), Nights 50-59°F (10-15°C). Consistent cool temperatures are essential for healthy growth and flowering. A 10-15°F (5-8°C) day-night differential promotes blooming.
• Humidity: 70-85% with constant air circulation to prevent fungal issues. Use humidity trays, room humidifiers, or terrarium culture to maintain adequate moisture levels. Good air movement is critical to prevent rot.
• Watering: Keep consistently moist year-round but never waterlogged. Water frequency depends on mounting medium - mounted plants may need daily misting, potted plants every 2-3 days.

Additional Notes

A vigorous primary hybrid that adapts well to small pots with fine-grade bark mix or sphagnum moss. Named in honor of Denis Roessiger, this cross combines the vibrant characteristics of both parent species to produce a reliable and rewarding plant.
