Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). This is a small plant that likes it wet and breezy. If grown as a Masdevallia it will do fine. It does however resent being moved when in spike!
 
Comments: Yield is not expected to be very high because most of the seed was lost when the capsules split.

Parent plant: Purchased as Porroglossum mordax. Was ID'd by the Orchid Id Center as Porroglossum agile. Multi-floral with two flowers per stem.
