Masdevallia Southern Comfort 'Mini Tiger' is a selected clone of the Southern Comfort grex, an Australian-bred Masdevallia hybrid known for its compact size and strongly patterned flowers. 'Mini Tiger' is named for its bold tiger-stripe effect: warm golden-orange overlaid with vivid red to magenta striping across the full face of the flower. The rounded lower sepals and strong central pattern give this clone real visual impact despite its small flower size.
About this plant
- Flowers: Golden-orange ground with vivid red to magenta striping. The high-contrast patterning is consistent across this named clone, though colour intensity may vary slightly with light and temperature.
- Flowering: Single flowers on upright spikes. It can flower more than once a year under stable conditions.
- Plant: Compact, miniature habit. A neat grower suited to collections where space is limited.
Growing conditions
- Temperature: 5°C to 22°C. It needs cool nights and stable conditions through summer, and it is not suited to warm climates. Avoid sustained warmth.
- Light: Bright filtered light. No direct midday sun.
- Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. There are no pseudobulbs, so do not allow it to dry out. Rainwater or RO water is preferred.
- Humidity and air: 60% or higher, with constant gentle air movement.
