Masdevallia mejiana
A floriferous epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing multiple simultaneous blooms on erect scapes among large, glossy, ovate leaves. The campanulate flowers feature a wide frontal opening and extraordinarily long, filiform tails on all three sepals — the dorsal arching upward and the laterals sweeping dramatically downward — giving the plant a bold, spider-like presence in full bloom.
- Light: 70–80% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun. Bright, diffused light encourages blooming without stressing the plant.
- Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C) — Intermediate to Cool grower. Nighttime temperature drops help sustain blooming cycles. Avoid prolonged exposure above 75°F (24°C).
- Humidity: 80–90%; always pair with strong air movement to prevent rot and fungal issues.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and frequently, never allowing the medium to fully dry out. Use soft, low-mineral water (RO or rainwater preferred).
Additional Notes
Best grown in a fine bark or sphagnum moss mix in a medium plastic or net pot with excellent drainage. Ships bare root and well-established, with a healthy root system ready to settle into its new home.
