Maxillaria argyrophylla
A compact epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests of South America, producing small, fleshy flowers with triangular sepals and erect petals that emerge directly from the base of the pseudobulbs. The narrow, linear leaves give the plant a graceful, grass-like habit.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the slender foliage.
- Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate grower that benefits from stable conditions and good air movement.
- Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports healthy root development and repeat 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.
