Culture Notes from Donor: Masdevallia ignea is a cool grower, native to the mountains of Columbia where temperatures range from 45°F to 58°F year round (reference: Baker & Baker). Needs brighter light conditions than most Masdevallia species to flower. In California, some growers have been able to get the plant to survive through warm summer temperatures up to 80°F by maintaining constant air circulation and humidity.
