Hi,
One thing I learned is to not grow Masdevallias with sphagnum moss in humid terrariums. They will rot.
I grow Masdevallia rolfiana, M. tovarensis, M. barlaeana, and M. floribunda. Its a shot gun approach. See which ones survive. The M. floribunda and M. barlaeana and M. rolfiana seem to be doing well, putting on new roots and leaves. But the M. tovarensis, which is a bit large, and growing in Sphag(I know, I broke my own rule) is doing nothing, and lost two flower buds.
