This miniature orchid has flowered and multiplied continuously once I brought it home and gave it stable humidity. I have been able to divide it and grow it in a variety of conditions very quickly which makes me feel as if this particular masdevallia standout from it's peers.

Masdevallia have a tendency to be fussy, but this one takes cool to warm temperatures. As warm as what is typically expected of bulbophyllums! It will even tolerate lower humidity than other masdevallias. Pictured below in the comments is yet another division that didn't make it into the video. It is potted in a miniature glazed terracotta vase with tree fern fiber, charcoal and perlite and sits on a shelf with relative room humidity of around 55-60%. It is important to note that while it tolerates this treatment, it does not grow as quickly or vigorously as it would in higher humidity levels.

Another great miniature species phal in my indoor greenhouse. This particular orchid was a birthday gift last month and it came potted with a double spike! I carefully mounted it to some cork bark with live moss and it looks like it is finally warming up to it's new surroundings 😊

I feel as if my last post and video on it while it wasn't even fully bloomed could've done a better job illustrating this beautiful plant.

A couple things to mention: I apologize if my manner of speech comes off slow and full of filler words like "um" and "uh". I typically do not make content like this and at the time of recording, it has been less than a week since I had oral surgery. The pain medicine and swollen mouth and face make it difficult to pronounce clearly AND quickly. I did not want to miss the chance to feature this gem again before the blooms start falling, though!

All that said, I hope you enjoy! If you really like this orchid, let's talk about it! That's why I'm posting here in the first place 😊
