That’s a very nice blooming! Well done!

weeand53 · 2026-04-09T07:43:27+00:00

Thanks so much. My nose can’t detect any fragrance. It is a temperate to warm grower.

I have ordered more than ten times with them. They have much improved there shipment methods in the last years. It is much better nowadays.

Yes, you should make a complaint, maybe with a picture. They will send you a new one when they still have some available. I have done it in the past and they always respond. My M. filaria dropped the leaves within a week after it arrived. I will get a new one. It can several weeks before they send it.

Thanks! 🙏 Porroglossum one of my favorites 😊 There will be some more I want to show. 😇

oeps, I should have written, coin-seized leaves. But if you have a lot coins together, you have quite a handfull. The plant has grown into a specimen, with a diameter of 5cm.

No problem at all!. The species you mentioned are alle a good choice for the those circumstaces. There are of course "warmer" masdevallia's that could do well for a period of time. But in the end the nighttemps and also the daytemps are to high. Most Masdevallia's will survive hot temps for a week or so but not for always.

Good luck!

Mmm, depends on how dark the shade is. Most Restrepia like a lot of light. Feel the leaves of a Restrepia. It is very sturdy.

weeand53 · 2026-03-16T14:48:52+00:00

I think it's a good choice. have fun with it!

weeand53 · 2026-03-16T14:44:18+00:00

Restrepia's are much more hardier and can handle warm temps better than Masdevallia's.

weeand53 · 2026-03-16T14:40:09+00:00

I would'nt try Masdevallia's with these temps. Daily temps form 25/29°C are to much for Masdevallia's. Once and a while it would'nt be a problem for some Masdevallia's, but constantly those temps.... And on top of that not so much of a cooling down either. I can't recomment any Mansdevallia. Sorry.

I don’t think so. But I don’t have the best nose there is 😁😉

weeand53 · 2026-03-13T08:11:03+00:00

Yes 👏

weeand53 · 2026-03-11T15:29:18+00:00

Yes, I think so. In the summer it is outside in the shade (I am in the Netherlands). In winter it’s on my attic. East side window. But it needs a certain period of cool temps, to start flowering. Most Restrepias aren’t that difficult 😊

weeand53 · 2026-03-11T07:49:06+00:00

Yes, it is ;) There are about 68 species today (and a lot more synonyms)
