Masdevallia sanctae-rosae

A fascinating miniature orchid from Andean cloud forests, notable for its translucent, softly toned blooms produced in clusters along slender, arching stems. The flowers feature fused sepals forming a compact, bell-shaped form that tapers into short tails, with a contrasting white lip that adds a delicate finishing touch.

• Light: Low to moderate light; 70–80% shade cloth. Avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); cool grower. Cool nights are essential — avoid prolonged temperatures above 75°F (24°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%. Maintain high humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep roots evenly moist at all times. Water more frequently in warm months, slightly less in winter.
