Maxillaria standleyi
An epiphytic species from the cloud forests of Central America, bearing solitary flowers on slender peduncles with narrow, asymmetrically spreading sepals and petals and a compact lip. Its delicate star-shaped blooms and tidy growth habit make it an elegant choice for intermediate growers.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure, which can damage the foliage.
- Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); performs best as an intermediate grower with a slight drop in nighttime temperatures.
- Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports healthy root activity and flowering.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid standing water at the roots.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted or in a small basket with a well-draining bark-based mix. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to acclimate to your growing conditions.
