Masdevallia xanthina red
A striking red-form selection of Masd. xanthina, prized for its intense floral expression within this miniature cool-growing species. Its compact habit and tolerance for enclosed environments make it equally well suited for terrarium culture or traditional cool-house growing.
- Light: Grow under 50–70% shade cloth; direct sun causes rapid damage to its fine foliage and must be avoided.
- Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 55–65°F (13–18°C), nights 45–54°F (7–12°C). Consistent cool temperatures are essential; avoid prolonged warmth above 68°F (20°C).
- Humidity: Requires 75–90% relative humidity; thrives in enclosed or semi-enclosed setups such as terrariums where humidity can be maintained consistently.
- Watering: Keep evenly and consistently moist; best grown mounted or in a small pot with fine bark to allow the roots to dry slightly between waterings, with more frequent misting during warmer months.
Additional Notes
Grown at Ecuagenera in the highlands of Ecuador under cool mountain conditions. Well suited for terrarium culture. Plants are shipped bare root, well-established, and ready to mount or pot in fine bark or sphagnum moss.
