Description

Description

A spectacular and highly sought-after variety of Maxillaria speciosa from the cloud forests of South America, distinguished by its extraordinarily elongated, twisted tepals boldly banded and spotted in a dramatic tiger-striped pattern. Multiple flowers are produced simultaneously on upright scapes, each with a compact central lip — creating a wild, chaotic, and utterly captivating display that is among the most visually striking in the entire genus.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the broad, strap-like foliage.
  • Temperature: 50–72°F (10–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that benefits from good temperature drops at night and excellent air circulation.
  • Humidity: 65–80%; consistent humidity is essential for healthy root development and prolific blooming.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to partially dry between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the root zone.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix in a medium pot. A prized collector's variety renowned for its dramatic, tiger-striped flower form — one of the most visually arresting Maxillaria available. Shipped bare root in well-established condition.
