Name: Masdevallia virgo-cuencae Luer & Andreetta
Synonyme: Alaticaulia virgo-cuencae (Luer & Andreetta) Luer; Masdevallia orchipopayensium P.Ortíz
Etymologie: virgo-cuencae leitet sich vom Lateinischen für die „Jungfrau von Cuenca“ ab. Dies ist die botanische Übersetzung des ecuadorianischen Begriffs Chola Cuencana, womit die Frauen von Cuenca in ihrer traditionellen Tracht geehrt werden.
Vermehrung: Aus Samen
Erstbeschreibung: 1978 von Carlyle August Luer und Pater Ángel Andreetta beschrieben.
Herkunft / Verbreitung:
Ecuador (Azuay und Morona Santiago) sowie das südliche Kolumbien (Huila).
Standort / Habitat:
Epiphytisch wachsend in feuchten Bergwäldern und Nebelwaldregionen. Entgegen der ursprünglichen Annahme einer reinen Hochlandart kommt sie in Kolumbien und Morona Santiago auch in tieferen, wärmeren Lagen um 850 m vor, während sie in Azuay Höhenlagen bis zu 2700 m besiedelt. Sie bevorzugt schattige Bereiche mit ganzjährig hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Beschreibung & Anmerkungen:
Masdevallia virgo-cuencae gehört zur Sektion Alaticaules und ist eine miniaturartig bis klein bleibende, horstbildende Art. Sie besitzt kräftige, aufrechte Ramicauls, die jeweils ein einzelnes, ledriges und dickes, elliptisches Blatt tragen. Die Blütenstände bringen nacheinander (sukzessive) ca. 3 cm breite, markante Blüten hervor. Die Kelchröhre läuft in elegante gelbliche Spitzen aus, während das Innere oft intensiv weinrot, purpurn oder fein gepunktet gemustert ist.

In der Kultur erweist sich die Art aufgrund ihres weiten Höhenverbreitungsgebietes als recht anpassungsfähig und wird meist als intermediär bis kühl eingestuft. Sie benötigt ganzjährig schattige Bedingungen (50–70 % Schattierung), da direktes Sonnenlicht das Laub sofort schädigt. Eine konstant hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit (75–90 %) bei steter Luftbewegung ist entscheidend. Das Substrat (feine Rinde oder Sphagnum-Moos) sollte gleichmäßig feucht gehalten werden, muss aber zwischen den Wassergaben leicht abtrocknen können. Auf Mineralsalze reagieren die feinen Wurzeln empfindlich, weshalb kalkfreies Wasser Pflicht ist.

Pieces missing, poor instructions, would not buy again!
Let's start with the good news: I did, eventually, get the shelves hung after a trip to the hardware store and some trial and error. Now for the bad news: * One of the screws holding the brace to the shelf was missing, making the shelf wobbly before I even hung it. * The directions for hanging the shelves show a different anchor than the one that comes packaged with them. This anchor will ONLY work in sturdy drywall and it's going to leave a huge hole behind. * The directions tell you to flip the shelf upside-down to position and mark the screw holes, BUT that means the sides of the shelf are reversed, and the hole positions do not match on each side. So if you start hammering or drilling based on those marks, they don't align and now you have extra holes in your wall. Honestly, I regret buying these and wish I'd just chosen a free-standing shelf instead. But I made it work for me, so I guess there's that.

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
