Masdevallia Kaleidoscope

A captivating hybrid between Masd. Cassiope and Masd. Copperwing, combining the refined floral traits of both parents into broad, open flowers with widely spreading sepals and elongated golden tails, produced on upright inflorescences that bloom in succession throughout the year.

• Light: Grow under 50–70% shade cloth; direct sun causes rapid leaf scorch and must be avoided.
• Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 57–68°F (14–20°C), nights 45–54°F (7–12°C). A consistent day-night differential promotes vigorous growth and reliable blooming.
• Humidity: Requires 75–90% relative humidity; humidity trays or a humidifier with steady air movement keep conditions ideal.
• Watering: Maintain even moisture year-round; mounted plants need more frequent watering than potted ones, with a modest reduction during the coolest months.

Additional Notes

A cool-growing hybrid best cultivated in small pots with fine bark or sphagnum moss, or mounted on cork bark or tree fern. Consistent cool temperatures and high humidity bring out its best performance.
