Maxillaria swartziana
An epiphytic miniature species from the Caribbean, producing small, nearly closed globose flowers with sharply pointed triangular sepals in deep burgundy-wine with a subtle glossy sheen. Its compact, tufted growth habit and richly colored blooms make it an intriguing addition to any miniature orchid collection.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the small, narrow leaves.
- Temperature: 58–78°F (14–26°C); thrives as an intermediate-warm grower with stable temperatures and a gentle nighttime drop.
- Humidity: 65–85%; high humidity is essential to keep the fine roots and compact growth healthy.
- Watering: Keep the mount or mix evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness, as the small root system is sensitive to dehydration.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork or in a small pot with a fine, well-draining bark mix. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt to your growing conditions.
