Maxillaria Yolanda Kakabadse

A hybrid of Max. Sangay × Max. molitor orange, combining two floriferous parents to produce well-opened, symmetrical flowers with broad, ovate, acutely pointed sepals and petals and a prominent trilobed lip with a papillose midlobe. Its vigorous, multi-flowered habit and large, well-structured blooms make it one of the most rewarding Maxillaria hybrids for cool growers.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the foliage in cool conditions.
• Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); thrives as a cool grower and benefits from consistently cool temperatures to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: 65–85%; high humidity supports vigorous growth and prolific flowering.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix in a pot or basket in a cool, well-ventilated environment. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt to your growing conditions.
