Masdevallia decumana
 
I was so looking forward to grow this amazing species! Finally got one last september from Ecuagenera, and I don't regret it, it is already growing very well and blooming :biggrin:. More buds are coming, it seem they are more numerous every day!
I mounted the plant on tree fern slab and put it in a terrarium with 3 misting a day, under T5 HO lights
It is still very far from 'the master decumana' Ron showed us on the forum, but I hope to see this little one with couple dozen flowers a day :bowing

Beautiful! You've gotten one and it's blooming!

I love the spots! What is your lighting setup (ie. how many bulbs and wattage) and how far from the lights is your plant?

This is the setup 4x 24W x 2Ft. Sunblaster 6400k
12" above the plant

Very nice! I resisted one last month from Ecuagenera at the Edmonton show because so far my Masdies aren't doing well. I hope to get one in the future tho.
