Maxillaria parviflora

A charming miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing clusters of small, cup-shaped flowers along creeping, mat-forming stems. The blooms are delicate and translucent in cream-white tones with a compact yellow lip, appearing in succession and creating a cheerful, floriferous display across the entire plant.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can desiccate the fine, creeping stems.
• Temperature: 57–79°F (14–26°C); an intermediate-warm grower that adapts well to stable indoor conditions.
• Humidity: 65–85%; high humidity is essential for this mat-forming, fine-rooted species.
• Watering: Keep the mount or mix evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness, which can stress the shallow root system.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or in a shallow basket to accommodate its creeping, spreading habit. A delightful species that rewards with abundant small flowers. Shipped bare root in well-established condition.
