Masdevallia strobelii
 

This is the first Masdevallia I have ever managed to keep alive for more than one month :biggrin: I have it since more than six months, it survived the hot summer, and is currently in bloom... In the past I have tried other 4 Masdevallias (3 species in Venezuela, and one hybrid) and none of them surkived the month...

P.S.- I think I will try some other Masdies with similar temp requirements...

Neat little Masde, grows cool in New Zealand, congratulations for your success.

Oh! love that Masd. I love anything yellow.

well, I can add that this little guy can tolerate quite high temps too :)

For me the trick was watering only with RO water, and fertilizing only once a month...

Oh man, that is really beautiful!! :drool:
Congrats Ramon, good growing :D

Very nice, Ramon! :goodjob:

:wtg:Wow, very very nice work!!!!! I can imagine your elation!!!!!!

Way to go! Ramon! This is one to go for! Tolerant of warmth besides? Best case scenario.

Lovely thing, isn't it? Passes on the hairs in the tubular part of the flower to its hybrids.
