Masdevallia Pangueña

A primary hybrid between Masd. peristeria and Masd. uniflora, combining the broad, open sepals of the former with the compact, erect spike habit of the latter. Flowers are held well above the foliage on sturdy stems, with fused, triangular sepals and short upright tails — a bold and floriferous cool grower.

• Light: 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); cool grower — requires cool nights year-round
• Humidity: 70–90%; ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues
• Watering: Keep evenly moist; water frequently but never allow roots to sit in standing water — Masdevallias have no pseudobulbs and cannot tolerate drought
