You don't have to worry about some leavs droping dead as new growths appear and they thrive. That's the way it works... If you have a fluorescent light at 3 ft above de Massies, isn't that to hot for them? Even with a fan...?
Let me know about the changes you are making...

I had a few blooms from the very most vigourous plants before I put them in there and then 1 has rebloomed for me since but only 1 flower.
I also have a Stelis porschiana mounted on treefern sitting in water in the same tank and it is blooming now.
The temperature is usually around 25 degrees celcius- it has gotten hotter on hot days up to 30 but better than outside where it has been 33- 44!
I am thinking of maybe mounting the masd. on tree fern panels and sitting them in water... you can get plastic rain gutters here with end caps that can glued on which you could sit many masdevallias- could probably do it with them sitting on/in hydroton in the gutters as well.
And I can could hang several gutters up against a wall- like a hanging garden of babylon so to speak.
Actually I have some paphs in hydroton sitting in a tray of hydroton that has a little bit of water in it so it's always moist- that could be very good for my masd.
I will let you know when I move them from there and what I end up doing with them.. did I say I wanted to make the fishtank into a vertical vivarium?
So many ideas and things to do
