Maxillaria caespitifica
A floriferous epiphyte native to Ecuador, forming compact clusters of large, ovoid pseudobulbs that produce an impressive flush of small, star-shaped flowers simultaneously. Each bloom features triangular sepals and petals with a dark-spotted central lip, creating a vivid, eye-catching display.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the foliage.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); an intermediate-cool grower that benefits from cool nights and stable conditions.
- Humidity: 65–85%; high humidity supports the clustering habit and prolific blooming.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.
Additional Notes
Ships bare root and well-established — pot promptly upon arrival in fine bark mix and water generously to rehydrate the roots. Best grown in a wide, shallow pot to accommodate its spreading, clumping growth.
