Masdevallia (Buccella) nidifica Rhcb. F. 1878 - a botanical species originating from southern and central America, native to Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru, belonging to the subgenus Nidificia Luer 2000. Valid synonyms are Buccella nidifica (Rchb.f.) Luer 2006, Masdevallia cyathogastra Schltr. 1918; Masdevallia tenuicauda Schltr. 1923. Sometimes, M. ventricosa is also presented as a synonym for the nidifica species, but it is found only in Ecuador, having yellow flowers with much shorter and slightly thicker sepal appendages, and the epichile is narrowly triangular rather than ovate or fan-shaped.
The recommended light radiation level for this species ranges between 6000 – 16000 lux, indicating a preference for shaded to moderately lit locations.
The growth temperature should be between 12 and 26 ℃, ensuring constant humidity and ventilation.
Watering should preferably be done daily, as Masdevallia nidifica prefers consistently moist substrates.
It is recommended to maintain constant environmental conditions, without variations and without resting periods.
Since species of the Masdevallia genus do not have storage organs such as pseudobulbs or thickened leaves and roots, watering and fertilizing must follow a regular pattern and be administered with constant frequency.
