Masdevallia Parlatoriana x glandulosa

Masdevallia Parlatoriana x glandulosa is an unregistered cross combining the Parlatoriana line with the species M. glandulosa, a fragrant, gland-bearing Masdevallia from the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru, described by Königer in 1979 and known for its distinctive scent, often likened to cloves or cinnamon. Expect some of that fragrance to carry through in this cross.

About this plant

• Flowering: A single flower on an erect spike.
• Flowers: Influenced by the tubular form and fragrance of glandulosa. As an unregistered, unreplicated cross, expect some individuality in presentation.
• Plant: Compact Masdevallia habit.

Growing conditions

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate, 8°C – 24°C. Glandulosa comes from slightly lower, warmer elevations than many Masdevallia species, so this cross is a touch more forgiving of warmth. It still needs cool nights and is not suited to warm climates.
• Light: Bright filtered light. No direct midday sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. It has no pseudobulbs, so do not allow it to dry out.
• Humidity and air: Humidity of 60% or higher, with constant gentle air movement. Rainwater or RO water preferred.
