Masdevallia guttulata

Masdevallia guttulata is a captivating miniature orchid species native to the cloud forests of Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, where it thrives at elevations between 400-1100 meters. This charming masdevallia is prized for its distinctive spotted flowers and remarkable warmth tolerance, making it more forgiving than many of its cool-growing relatives.

Why You'll Love This Orchid:

• Warmth Tolerant: Unlike most masdevallias, this species adapts well to intermediate temperatures, perfect for growers who can't provide constant cool conditions
• Compact Size: Ideal for small growing spaces, terrariums, or orchid display cases
• Unique Blooms: Features delicate flowers with characteristic guttulate (spotted) markings that give the species its name
• Rewarding Grower: With proper care, produces multiple blooms throughout the year

Care Guidelines:

• Light: Bright, filtered light; avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm (60-80°F); tolerates warmer conditions than most masdevallias
• Water: Keep consistently moist but not soggy; high humidity preferred
• Potting: Fine bark mix or sphagnum moss; repot when media breaks down
