Maxillaria elegantula (Big)
A floriferous cool-growing epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing an impressive flush of nodding flowers simultaneously among the foliage. The cucullate dorsal sepal arches over heavily spotted lateral sepals and petals, while the trilobed lip features vivid yellow lateral lobes with undulate margins. Offered here as a large, specimen-sized plant capable of producing an exceptional floral display.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
- Temperature: 45–65°F (7–18°C); a cool grower that requires consistently low temperatures and good air movement.
- Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is essential for healthy growth and prolific blooming.
- Watering: Keep the mix evenly moist without allowing it to dry out completely; avoid stagnant water at the roots.
Additional Notes
Ships bare root and well-established — a large, mature specimen that settles quickly into its new growing environment. Pot promptly upon arrival in fine bark mix and water generously to rehydrate the roots.
