Masdevallia coccinea f. alba 'Lemfordence'

Masdevallia coccinea f. alba 'Lemfordence' is a pure white, small-growing clone of this Colombian cloud forest species. In stature it is the alba counterpart of our 'Dwarf Pink', and it is a different clone from our 'White Squall' and 'Snow Flake'. M. coccinea is one of the great Masdevallia species, and the alba form lacks the usual red-magenta pigment.

About this plant

• Flowering: Single blooms carried on erect spikes clear of the foliage.
• Flowers: Pure white, with good substance.
• Plant: Small, compact grower, well suited to growers with limited space.

Growing conditions

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate, 5°C to 22°C. It needs cool nights and is not suited to warm climates. Avoid sustained heat, which is the main cause of failure with Masdevallia.

• Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. With no pseudobulbs there are no water reserves, so do not allow it to dry out. Rainwater or RO water is preferred.
