Masdevallia infracta alba

Masd. infracta var. alba presents pristine, translucent white flowers with the characteristic triangular sepaline tube and slender tails typical of the species, blooming repeatedly from upright, single-flowered inflorescences that emerge successively throughout the year.

• Light: Thrives under 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure, which causes leaf burn and stress.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate grower. Daytime 59–72°F (15–22°C), nights 45–55°F (7–13°C). A consistent day-night differential of at least 10°F (5°C) promotes blooming.
• Humidity: Prefers 70–85% relative humidity; use humidity trays or a humidifier with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist year-round; water mounted plants more frequently than potted ones, and reduce slightly during cooler months.

Additional Notes

Native to Brazil at elevations of 1,000–2,000 meters, where it grows in cool, humid Atlantic Forest habitats. Best cultivated in small pots with fine bark or sphagnum moss, or mounted on cork bark to accommodate its rambling growth habit.
