Still no mealybugs!!
I did the last dose of insecticide several days ago and I am going to repot the masdevallia today as I have seen no mealybugs at all since I first started treating it and it's just doing ok potted in loose bark. I'm having to keep a separate pot of water underneath the plant, to keep some decent humidity around the plant's roots and the temps this week are supposed to get into the 80s outside, so I think I would rather have it potted in clay and moss, as I'd intended to do in the first place.
I'm assuming at this point, that it was not an infestation and that maybe the mealybugs I spotted were hitchhikers from other plants at the event.
