Masdevallia popowiana
A charming miniature species from Andean cloud forests, producing clusters of globose, porcelain-smooth flowers on upright ramicauls. The inflated, rounded sepals taper into slender, elongated tails, creating an elegant contrast between the plump floral body and its delicate, thread-like extensions.
- Light: 70–80% shade cloth; bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the thin leaves.
- Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C) — Cool grower. A consistent day-to-night temperature drop helps trigger blooming; avoid prolonged exposure above 70°F (21°C).
- Humidity: 80–90%. Maintain strong air circulation to prevent fungal rot at the crown and roots.
- Watering: 2–3 times per week; keep roots evenly moist at all times. No pseudobulbs — cannot tolerate drying out. Use soft, low-mineral water when possible.
Additional Notes
Grown and propagated by Ecuagenera in the highlands of Ecuador. Best suited for dedicated cool-growing setups. Shipped bare root, well-established.
