These are two masdevallias we had in the shop recently. Many orchid varieties have pseudobulbs that hold nutrients and waters. Masdevallias don't. Forgetting to water them can be fatal. That said, don't treat these little jewels like creatures of the bog. In the wild, these Victorian favorites grow on trees. Let the potting medium dry out slightly between waterings.
