My Masdevallia Nidifica has brown leaves! HELP!

Posted by patrickalan Zone 6/NJ (My Page) on

I have a mounted Masd. nidifica, every day more and more of the leaves are browing, shriveling up and falling off. I keep it moist, and cool and don't understand what's happening here. Can anyone help me out with this ?
Thanks.

What do you have it potted in? They like cool, moist but need to be in a well draining media. You need to give more info as to light and potting.

We need more information please.

What is cool?
What is moist?
Where do you grow it?
How much light does it receive?

How is your air movement? They like to be kept moist and breezy. Mine got a lot of black leaves until I moved it closer to the fan. It also likes more light than than I thought. Seems happiest when it gets enought light to induce a light red blush on the leaves.
