Trouble with Masdies Female
Default Trouble with Masdies

Hello,

Like so many others, I am having trouble with my masdevallias. I have two: Masd. Angel Tears and Masd. Maui Gold both purchased at the same time, from the same vendor. At time of purchase, both plants were beautiful and overflowing their pots. I repotted both into separate glass bowls RJSquirrel style (net pot with spag. moss inside a glass bowl filled with leca, moss and water).

One Masdie is doing okay...not great...just okay. Its not really doing much of anything. I lose a leaf on occasion but more are popping up (slowly). No blooms. The little glass bowl seems to be working as designed.

The other Masdie is not happy. It loses multiple leaves a day and not much new growth is happening. I know it's root system isn't perfect but when I repotted into the glass bowls I was hoping there were enough good roots to outweigh the bad. When the significant leaf drop started happening, I removed the plant from the glass bowl and stuck it in a small plastic pot with spag. moss. I thought maybe the smaller pot might help but I think I was wrong.

I grow my Masdies where I grow my phals, in an indoor greenhouse with 50-70% humidity depending on time of day, constant fan and temps ranging from 60-70F. Light is from one of Ray's LEDs. My phals are happy (I think).

Is my masdie a lost cause?
