Default Masdevallia cylix

Small size newly found species from southeastern Ecuador, Luer & Malo 1988[1989]

In Greek language kylix means "a cup"

Compared to the plant size the flower is huge.

Very nice.
I have a question about your sphagnum: you must grow your plants in very, very high humidity to keep sphagnum moss alive on a mount, do you? Are they in an enclosure? Sphagnum needs so much water, mine dries up even in my terrarium with 3 misting a day unless it is permanently in a saucer of water...

I grow my masdies in quite high humidity and mist them many times per day.
Sphagnum grows loosely on blocks, some moss dry too easily and has died but some stays alive.

I use only different species of finnish moss to all my masdies. I collect all the moss from my own forest.

I am testing now which finnish species tolerate more dry condition without death.



My own forest here in Finland ... ... and a lot of moss
