Maxillaria porrecta alba
A rare unpigmented form of Max. porrecta from the cloud forests of Ecuador, retaining the same bold, sculptural flower structure of the species. The blooms display erect dorsal petals, strongly recurved lateral sepals, and a small, curved lip — all in a clean, ghost-like form entirely free of the typical pigmentation.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the upright, strap-like foliage.
- Temperature: 57–79°F (14–26°C); an intermediate-warm grower that adapts well to stable indoor conditions.
- Humidity: 65–80%; consistent humidity with good airflow is essential for healthy root development.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to partially dry between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the root zone.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a well-draining bark or sphagnum mix in a small to medium pot. A prized collector's form for its rare, fully unpigmented flowers and distinctive sculptural structure. Shipped bare root in well-established condition.
