Masdevallia angulifera

A cool growing species from Colombia. Long lasting flowers and a compact plant. The leaves are a bit under 6" tall.

 

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Kermie, I don't think I have ever done a thread on this growing area. It is in the greenhouse with 50F minimum night in winter and just a bit warmer nights in summer. Daytime rarely goes over 80F for more than an hour or two and is usually around 75F. I have an evaporative cooler and a heater controlling the extremes. The light where it sits is moderate, at mid-day if I hold my hand 18" above the plant there is a shadow, but not a very distinct shadow. Lots of fans on medium speed in this greenhouse. I have to use RO water because my city alters the water. I water with about 160 ppm (1/4 tsp per gallon) of low potassium fertilizer (MSU). I try to pot in media/pot size and type that will have the plant approaching dryness the next time I water. I also grow it mounted with almost daily water and it does equally well. Hope that gives you an idea of where this grows.

 

Thanks Ray, your right. I use the regular MSU for RO. I got my P's and K's mixed up.
