Masdevallia Devil's Heart

This captivating primary hybrid combines the fiery intensity of Masd. ignea with the rounded form of Masd. discoidea, producing dramatic blooms with heart-shaped sepals and rich tones. Plants bloom reliably throughout the year under cool conditions, making this an excellent choice for collectors.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50-70% shade cloth protection. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves and reduce flowering.
• Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 59-72°F (15-22°C), nighttime 50-59°F (10-15°C). Maintain a 10-15°F day-night differential to encourage continuous blooming.
• Humidity: 70-85% with excellent air circulation. Use humidity trays, humidifiers, or terrarium setups to maintain moisture while preventing fungal problems.
• Watering: Keep media consistently moist but never waterlogged. Mounted plants need daily misting, potted specimens 3-4 times weekly. Reduce slightly in winter but never allow complete drying.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, though it adapts well to small pots with fine bark mix or sphagnum moss.
