Masdevallia veitchiana 8 x Masd. rhodehameliana X Masdevallia Mundyana

A complex cool-growing hybrid combining three exceptional parents: Masd. veitchiana #8, Masd. rhodehameliana, and Masd. Mundyana. This lineage brings together the large, commanding floral presence of veitchiana, the refined form of rhodehameliana, and the hybrid vigor of Mundyana — resulting in a plant of considerable floral interest and 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.
