Where to grow Masdevallias
We suggest filtered or semi shade in a warm humid position and the usual well drained orchid bark potting mix perhaps mixed with some sphagnum moss to retain moisture.

Masdevallia care and growing hints.
Try clean or filtered water and water when the potting mix starts to dry out. Humidity of 70% is ideal but make sure that air movement is allowed for.

Repotting Masdevallia Orchids
As the potting mix needs to stay moist for these orchids it does tend to break down fairly quickly, when this happens drainage can become a problem. we recommend repotting every year or every second year.
