Masdevallia Bella Donna

A beautiful primary hybrid between Masd. datura and Masd. coccinea, featuring vibrant flowers with distinctive tubular form and elongated sepals. Compact plants produce successive blooms, combining the intense coloration and desirable traits of both parent species in an intermediate to cool-growing hybrid.

• Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade. Protect from direct sunlight which can scorch leaves.
• Temperature: Intermediate to cool grower. Daytime 64-77°F (18-25°C), nighttime 54-64°F (12-18°C). Tolerates slightly warmer conditions than strict cool growers.
• Humidity: 70-85% with excellent air circulation. Good air movement is critical to prevent fungal and bacterial issues.
• Watering: Keep media consistently moist throughout the year. Water every 2-3 days depending on conditions, using pure water with low mineral content.

Additional Notes

This primary cross combines the striking tubular flowers of Masd. datura with the vibrant red-orange tones of Masd. coccinea, creating a rewarding hybrid for intermediate to cool collections.
