Maxillaria azulensis (Big)

An elegant epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, producing solitary flowers with a tall, erect dorsal sepal, horizontally spreading lateral sepals, and a trilobed lip with a vivid midlobe. Offered here as a large, specimen-sized plant ready to bloom.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate grower that appreciates stable conditions with good air circulation.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports healthy growth and reliable 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 — a large, mature specimen that settles quickly into its new growing environment. Pot promptly upon arrival in fine bark mix and water generously to rehydrate the roots.
