Maxillaria brachybulbon (Big)

A warm-growing epiphyte from the cloud forests of South America, forming dense clumps of narrow, linear leaves. It produces compact, ornamental flowers with broad, rounded sepals and erect petals displaying rich pink venation over a cream base.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 62–82°F (17–28°C); a warm grower that thrives with stable temperatures and good air circulation.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports the dense clumping habit and prolific 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.
