Masdevallia tovarensis loves a bright sun without access to direct sunlight, so during the midday, this orchid must be placed behind a curtain or into the shade of other plants. Otherwise, the orchid can get sunburn.
Temperature regime
Most species need a moderately cool temperature regime. At the same time, daily temperature changes are required for the plant. So, in the summer it is best if it is from 15 to 23 degrees during the day, and from 10 to 18 degrees at night. In winter, Masdevallia needs coolness – from 10 to 15 degrees.

After there is no threat of frost at night in spring, the flower can be moved to fresh air (to the balcony, to the garden), but it must be shaded from direct sunlight.
