Masdevallia Falcata 'Gold Digger' × Pichincha 'Cape View'

Masdevallia Falcata 'Gold Digger' × Pichincha 'Cape View' combines the Falcata grex (M. coccinea × M. veitchiana) with Pichincha (Copper Angel × M. calocodon, Ray Thomson 1993).

About this plant

• Flowering: Single blooms carried on erect spikes clear of the foliage.
• Flowers: White to cream ground colour finely striped with magenta-pink veining through the segments, with a yellow-green dorsal tail.
• Plant: Compact Masdevallia growth habit, suited to cool-growing collections.

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 primary cause of failure with Masdevallia.
• Light: Bright filtered light. No direct midday sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. With no pseudobulbs there are no water reserves, so do not allow it to dry out.
• Humidity & air: Humidity of 60% or higher, with constant gentle air movement. Rainwater or RO water preferred.
