Maxillaria schunkeana is a small sized, warm growing epiphyte.
This plant arrived in a 4" pot with about a dozen small pseudo bulbs in several clusters. Its leaves look almost like blades of grass, but when you touch them, they're quite firm and strong. I've got only a few that have some browning tips, but I'll just chalk it up to the plant making adjustments to its new environment. Some roots are growing near the surface of bark, pumice, and rocks/pebbles. I'll be learning as I go along with this plant, but it's one that's no longer on my wishlist.
Ordered online. Amazing shipping to USA. Leaves an alive. Roots are a little bit dried out. But really promising plant!,, Highly recommended 👍
I’m giving 4 stars because the plant is alive and has potential, but I expected it to recover a bit better after arrival. I still appreciate the quality and the care in packaging, and I hope it will continue to improve with time.
Nice healthy plant…looking forward to seeing it bloom.
