Hey Philip:
I've had these 2 Masd. decumana for exactly 2-days. They arrived on Tuesday from ANDY'S.
One of them was in full bloom when I unpacked it. Gorgeous.
Within 24-hours the leaves started to spot, yellow, pit and obviously become stressed.
It's been the same with every mounted Masdevella I've ever grown - a few years ago I had 4 mounted Masdies arrive from ANDY'S. The same thing happened. I lost all 4 plants. And it was a huge financial loss, as the plants were not cheap.
Problem is I think I need to stay clear of SPECIES and stick with more 'reliable' Masdevallia hybrids that are potted and not mounted !
