Masdevalia marguerite

[whispersiren]

hi, Anyone have any experience with the hybrid Masdevallia Marguerite?

I only just acquired one at a small local show a couple weeks ago, but really didn't ask enough questions about its care...(it was really crowded)

I know that the species in general requires cooler nights, and lower light, but I'm not sure about humidity and watering... and how to get it to flower.

Someone mentioned that it could be planted outside around here, but we have too many deer (hee hee)

Hi, I scrolled down the site, but never found the Marguerite ??

It is a good site to bookmark though (I'll undoubtedly get more plants -

), thanks!

Ah...didn't realize it was a hybrid (although should've by the name). M. 'Marguerite' is a cross between M. veitchiana x M. infracta. So, do a search for each of those species and find out the care for each, and something in the middle should be perfect.
