Masdevallia draconis
This dramatic species produces striking flowers with bold form and distinctive dragon-like appearance that gives the species its name. Plants bloom reliably throughout the year with successive flowers appearing under intermediate conditions.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50-70% shade cloth protection. Avoid direct sunlight which can damage foliage.
- Temperature: Intermediate grower. Daytime 64-77°F (18-25°C), nighttime 55-64°F (13-18°C). Maintain a 10-12°F day-night differential for optimal flowering.
- Humidity: 65-80% with good air circulation. Use humidity trays or humidifiers while ensuring adequate airflow to prevent disease.
- Watering: Keep media consistently moist. Mounted plants need daily misting, potted specimens 3-4 times weekly. Reduce slightly in winter without allowing complete drying.
Additional Notes
Native to Ecuador at elevations of 2,000-2,800 meters. Best grown mounted on tree fern or cork bark, though adapts well to small pots with fine bark mix or sphagnum moss.
