Maxillaria cryptobulbon
A striking epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing solitary flowers of remarkable architectural form. The erect, cucullate dorsal sepal rises above two broadly spreading lateral sepals, flanking a prominent white column and a vivid yellow lip — a truly distinctive bloom among miniature orchids.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
- Temperature: 58–78°F (14–26°C); an intermediate-warm grower that benefits from stable conditions and good air circulation.
- Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports healthy root development and reliable 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 small pot or mounted on cork bark.
