Maxillaria striata 'Golden'

A selected form of the Ecuadorian species, distinguished by its exceptionally rich golden base tone on the sepals and petals, overlaid with bold dark striations and a showy trilobed lip with a purple and white center. Its upright, well-branched inflorescences and intensified coloration make it a prized selection among intermediate growers.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can fade the vivid golden tones and scorch the foliage.
• Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); thrives as an intermediate grower with a moderate nighttime temperature drop to stimulate blooming.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports robust pseudobulb development 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. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt to your growing conditions.
