Default Masd. exquisita trouble

I have no experience with Masd., but a similar thing happened with a
Restrepia muscifera I brought. The leaves were mostly red and they all
dropped within two weeks. I waited another three months, hoping for
some sign of growth. Then I tossed it! Someday, I will try again.
So I can only offer my condolences.
I did read somewhere that Masd. don't like it much above 75F, which is
why I've never tried growing them. It just gets too hot during the
summer here.
Good luck!

I fertilized it about every 2 weeks

I live in alaska, so the night (all four hours) are a little cold

I've had the plant 3 months

Oh I've already picked out a spot in the compost pile, just hoping not
to use it.
