About this plant
Masdevallia (Frosty Strips × macrura) 'Horizontal' is a selected clone from this unregistered cross between two well-proven parents. Frosty Strips (M. veitchiana × M. strobelii) is known for producing broad, wide sepals with bold striped patterning; M. macrura, a large robust Colombian species, contributes exceptional tail length and heavy substance. 'Horizontal' was selected for its distinctive presentation: the broad sepal body meeting the elongated macrura tails in a flower with unusual lateral reach.
- Flowering: Single flowers on erect spikes held clear of the foliage.
- Flowers: Orange, with broad, wide sepals, striped patterning and the pronounced elongated tails of macrura. The name reflects the wide lateral spread of the flower.
- Plant: Compact Masdevallia habit, vigorous when cool conditions are met.
Growing conditions
- Temperature: Cool to intermediate, 5°C to 22°C. Avoid sustained warmth.
- Light: Bright filtered shade. No direct midday sun.
- Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. It has no pseudobulbs, 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.
