Masdevilla floribunda in bloom

[Mikefromearth]

Hey all!

My Masd. floribunda has done it's thing and put out 20+ buds! Most of them are open at this point, so I thought I would share a picture.



Seems like a happy plant!

Thanks!

The roots are probably 2-3" across, the leaves are probably 8" across at the widest point. It's grown in my 30 gal. viv under a 36w 6500k t5ho light. Temps are ~65 day 55 night right now, though perhaps a bit higher due to the light and plants giving off heat in the tank. I water every day or two with a misting of false-bottom water, which also keeps the tank humid. I switch between rain water, dechlorinated tap water and sump water.

Amazing! I'm so jealous of folks who can grow masdies so well. Mine always sputter out and die. I'll just admire yours. Great growing. Thanks for sharing.
