Maxillaria Jinsop Medina

A hybrid of Max. striata × Max. fractiflexa, two species from the Andean cloud forests. It produces flowers of extraordinary architectural drama, inheriting the extremely elongated, filifom lateral sepals of fractiflexa and the fine purple striping on a cream ground from striata, with short, upward-curving petals flanking a small column and lip.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate grower that benefits from stable conditions and 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.
