Masdevallia 'Red Baron'
check_circle In Stock
Masdevallia 'Red Baron' is a hybrid orchid within the Pleurothallidinae subtribe, with ancestry likely involving species native to the cool, mist-laden cloud forests of the Andes, particularly in Ecuador and Colombia. It produces a single, tubular flower per inflorescence, with fused sepals forming an elongated shape. The flower is typically deep red to reddish-purple and held on an upright stem above the foliage. Like many in its genus, it performs best in consistently cool, humid conditions.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun should be avoided.
- Water: Keep the medium consistently moist. Use low-mineral water and avoid letting it dry out.
- Humidity: High humidity above 70% is ideal for sustained growth and flowering.
- Media: Plant in fine bark or fresh sphagnum moss with good airflow and drainage.
- Temperature: Best suited to cool to intermediate conditions, typically between 10–22 °C.
- Fertiliser: Apply a diluted orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during active growth. Flush regularly to prevent salt accumulation.
- Repotting: Repot annually or when the medium begins to break down, preferably after flowering.
