Maxcastuloa Ecuagenera

Maxcastuloa Ecuagenera Culture

• Light: It prefers bright, indirect light. Filtered sunlight is ideal, similar to what it would experience under a tree canopy.
• Temperature: To mimic its natural habitat, aim for daytime temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F) and cooler nights around 12-18°C (54-65°F).
• Humidity: High humidity levels, around 60-80%. If needed, consider placing the pot on a tray of pebbles with water (ensuring the pot isn't sitting in the water) or using a humidifier, especially during drier periods.
• Watering: It's essential to keep the substrate consistently moist but never waterlogged. During active growth, you'll likely need to water every few days, allowing the top layer of the mix to just approach dryness before watering again. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, less active periods.

Additional notes:

• The flowers are a real treat for the eyes and complement their seductive scent. Although the color and shape may vary slightly, you can expect petals and sepals in intense colors, often in warm golden or brown tones, frequently accented with contrasting markings on the lip. Being a cross between Maxillaria, Anguloa, and Lycaste, this hybrid can produce abundant flower spikes and up to two flowers per spike.
