Stelis guianensis var Maria (Big)

A large, well-established division of this selected variety from the cloud forests of Ecuador, forming dense, multi-stemmed clumps with broad, arching lanceolate leaves of smooth, glossy texture. Slender inflorescences rise above the lush foliage bearing numerous small, precisely arranged flowers — produced in successive flushes throughout the year.

• Light: Moderate indirect light with 55–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the broad, soft foliage.
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); a cool grower that thrives with consistent cool temperatures and strong airflow.
• Humidity: 70–85%; high humidity supports vigorous multi-stem growth and prolific blooming.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist at all times; does not tolerate prolonged drying between waterings.

Additional Notes

Blooms repeatedly throughout the year with multiple simultaneous inflorescences. Best grown in a pot with fine bark or sphagnum moss, or mounted on cork bark with a moisture-retaining backing. Ships bare-root in excellent condition.
