Maxillaria tenuifolia *Coconut Orchid*

Maxillaria tenuifolia 

This species is famous for its luscious ‘Coconut Cream Pie’ fragrance. Starting in late winter and early spring, plants will cover themselves in dozens of small, dark red blooms that will fill the room with this sweet, tropical scent. This cultivar has very dark coloration and flowers that are larger than most.

Growing Suggestions: This species will need to be cultivated in cool to intermediate (65-85 degrees) temperatures and bright, indirect light. Roots should not be allowed to completely dry out so we suggest watering 2-3 times per week, or just as the media approaches dryness.

Plants offered are outgrowing their current 3" pots.  Plan to repot into larger containers later this year.  These are flowering size and can bloom anytime in the coming 12 months.

These beautiful plants were provided by our friends at a wholesale orchid nursery in Hawaii. Because we did not raise them in our greenhouses, we can not guarantee them to be virus free as we would our own lab grown material. Otherwise, we guarantee your satisfaction and safe delivery as with other plant purchases.
