Masdevallia aureoportensis

Masdevallia aureoportensis was described as Spilotantha aureoportensis by Luer & J.Leathers in 2012 and moved back into Masdevallia by Shaw in 2016. It has no wild records on GBIF and its locality was not recovered, so the profile below is a generalisation from the Spilotantha group of cool Andean cloud-forest Masdevallia.

Where it grows wild

Unknown. Its relatives in Luer's Spilotantha group (the Saltatrices alliance, such as M. constricta, M. deformis and M. ampullacea) are small epiphytes of wet Andean cloud forest at roughly 1,500–2,800 m in Ecuador and Peru.

No elevation on record; assumed cloud-forest elevations of about 1,500–2,800 m by analogy with its relatives.

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates

✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it

✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light

✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it

✓ Substrate and airflow

✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
