Masdevallia exquisita

Masdevallia exquisita is endemic to Bolivia, and the plants were found in trees found along a ravine or gorge at 1,800 meters (5,900 feet). The plant blooms in the summer. Water and fertilizer should be reduced in the winter, but do not allow them to dry out completely. Medium should be open and fast draining, with some materials added to retain some moisture.
