Masdevallia caesia

[gotsomerice]

This is one of my favorite Masdevallia. For some reason I love things upside down!:rollhappy:

Great flowers!! but for the foliage, do the leaves shown on the pict. belong to the masd. plant or are they Epidendrum? / Brassavola leaves??? If possible, could you show a pic. of the whole plant??? Jean

Very cool masdie!

Actually those are the greenest caesia leaves I've ever seen. Well bloomed though.

In what conditions do you grow this species?

In what conditions do you grow this species?

Filter sunlight. Winter temperature goes down to the mid 40F. Summer temperature can go up to mid 80F. Must water with really good water, like rain or RO water. I've never fertilized my plants.

Great! Looks like the pleurothaliid equivalent of Encyclia citrina.....Eric

I love this species, but it has a fragrance only a fungus gnat could love.
