Thanks, I'll try it. I am in Connecticut and the night temps are not
getting that low, but soon they will. I'm a little worried about it
outside becuase of the heat, but I do have a good shady spot for it.

Thanks again,
Diana

Diana,

Night time temps need to go into the lower 50s for this plant to thrive.

What you are seeing is exactly what happens to many Masdevallias when they
experience too-high night temperatures.

I was growing my clone of this hybrid inside in San Francisco, with nights
in the lower 60s. It never bloomed and slowly lost leaves.

The minute I put it outside in the shade, new leaves and TONS of new flowers
burst forth in happiness. Our nights in the City of San Francisco are almost
always in the upper 40s to mid 50s, year round. It's great being surrounded
on 3 sides by cold water!

Your daytime temps are fine for this hybrid.

Good luck!

-Eric in SF

I have a Masdelvallia Copper Angel that has been limping along for about 6
years now. No matter what I do, it really never has anymore than 4 leaves
