Hey, congrats! I really love this species. I bought this one years ago and mounted it in my terrarium. At first it was doing well and was my first Masdie to ever actually bloom for me. Well, after that there was the great mealy bug war of '07/'08. Mealy bugs almost killed this one and then I moved it, cleaned its two remaining leaves and now I have an almost back to normal Masdie. I discovered I could grow it outside a tank and this one is not prone to rot, or dessication. A really tough beginners Masdie. I can't wait to see mine rebloom, and cant wait to see yours in bloom. Treat it well and never give up on it in the future.
