Growing Masdevallia Veitchiana Indoors?

[Roberta]

If it is any consolation, Andy's Orchids lost all of this species in a heat wave about 2 years ago - the nursery is near the coast and "never" gets terribly hot... well, there are exceptions, and even the best commercial growers can lose sensitive plants no matter what they do. Sorry for yours! It's a beautiful species. But the plant actually looks like it may survive... I would put water so that it comes up into the container - for the short time, root rot is less of a danger than "root toast".
