Masdevallia Susy de Bermeo x Drac. Raven 'Ivan'

An exceptional intergeneric hybrid from the cross of Masd. Susy de Bermeo × Drac. Raven ‘Ivan’ — a select clone of the dark-flowered Dracula hybrid Raven. This cool-growing cross combines the refined character of Susy de Bermeo with the bold presence of Drac. Raven, producing a plant of rare breeding depth and strong collector appeal.

• Light: Grow under 50–70% shade cloth; direct sun causes rapid damage to its fine foliage and must be avoided.
• Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 55–65°F (13–18°C), nights 45–54°F (7–12°C). Consistent cool temperatures are essential; avoid prolonged warmth above 68°F (20°C).
• Humidity: Requires 75–90% relative humidity; its fine root system benefits greatly from a humidifier with steady air movement to prevent desiccation.
• Watering: Keep evenly and consistently moist; best grown mounted or in a small pot with fine bark to allow the roots to dry slightly between waterings, with more frequent misting during warmer months.

Additional Notes

Grown at Ecuagenera in the highlands of Ecuador under cool mountain conditions. Plants are shipped bare root, well-established, and ready to mount or pot in fine bark or sphagnum moss.
