Maxillaria luteoalba

A charming species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing multiple flowers simultaneously from the base of each growth on short, upright scapes. The blooms are star-shaped with narrow, spreading tepals and a small, distinctly patterned lip with a yellow callus.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the soft, upright foliage.
• Temperature: 57–79°F (14–26°C); an intermediate-warm grower that performs well with stable temperatures year-round.
• Humidity: 65–80%; maintain consistent moisture in the air with good airflow to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to partially dry between waterings; avoid standing water at the root zone.

Additional Notes

Best cultivated in a well-draining bark or sphagnum mix in a small pot. Shipped bare root in well-established condition, ready to adapt quickly to your growing environment.
