Masdevallia Curacao ‘Finn’

Masdevallia Curacao is a P.L. Jackson hybrid registered in 2004 — a cross of Masdevallia Copper Queen × M. triangularis. Copper Queen (M. ignea × M. veitchiana) contributes bold warm orange colouring and good substance; M. triangularis introduces amber-gold tones, producing a warmer, more golden result than either parent alone. The Curacao grex is notable for its clean apricot-warm colour palette. 'Finn' is a selected sibling of 'Oliver', retained for its strong symmetry and elongated, refined flower outline.

What to expect

• Flowering: Single flowers on erect spikes held clear of the foliage. Can carry multiple spikes simultaneously on well-established plants.
• Flowers: Warm apricot-orange with elongated sepals and clean, precise symmetry. A refined, well-proportioned flower — golden rather than orange in tone, with a calm overall presence.
• Plant: Compact Masdevallia habit, vigorous when cool conditions are met.

Growing notes

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Avoid sustained warmth.
• Light: Bright filtered shade. No direct midday sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. No pseudobulbs — do not allow to dry out.
• Humidity & air: High humidity with constant gentle air movement. Rainwater or RO water preferred.
