Masdevallia panguiensis

A compact miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, named after the Pangui canton in Zamora-Chinchipe province. Solitary flowers are borne on slender ramicauls above a neat rosette of small leaves, with triangular, spreading sepals and short, neat tails.

• Light: 60–70% shade cloth; bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the leaves.
• Temperature: 55–70°F (13–21°C) — Intermediate grower. Tolerates mild fluctuations; avoid prolonged heat above 75°F (24°C).
• Humidity: 80–90%. Maintain strong air circulation to prevent fungal issues at the crown and roots.
• Watering: 2–3 times per week; keep roots evenly moist at all times. No pseudobulbs — cannot tolerate drying out. Use soft, low-mineral water when possible.
