Ada Aurantiaca Culture? Female
Default Ada Aurantiaca Culture?

Just a question here... am I the only person on OB that is growing Ada Aurantiaca?

Mine is not thriving. I discovered that it needs a lot more water than I was giving it. It was potted in straight bark and I can't keep plants that like to be wet, wet enough in bark. So, I moved it to a mix of hydroton, bark and moss to help keep the roots damp and give it plenty of drainage so the moss won't compact. This is how I grow my masdevallia and bulbo. Then I set its plastic pot inside a clay pot, with some pebbles in the bottom of the clay pot to lift the plastic pot away from the bottom. I'm going to add some water to the saucer the clay pot is in to keep the pot wet, and hopefully help reduce temperatures around the roots on hot days this summer.

I'm not finding a ton about this species from other hobby growers and was hoping to find info about how someone else was successfully growing it in their home.

Thanks!
