Cattleya maxima is an epiphytic orchid, meaning that it grows on other plants or trees in its natural habitat. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil that allows for good air circulation. In cultivation, it is often grown in pots or hanging baskets with a coarse, well-draining potting mix.
Very happy with this Cattleya maxima. It is not only an adult plant, but in sheath, it seems it could bloom this year. It does need to be repotted, as the media is old, I'll just wait about a month for it to acclimate to my accommodations first and for the days to get a little longer. I will be putting it in a terra-cotta pot to make it bottom heavy too. I think it will like that.
My orchid came with five broken leaves, the leaves that weren’t broken were so old and dry they were split down the center. I received 2 other plants with rotted roots which I emailed the company about and they offered a return label instead of partial refund or discount. This orchid was not the right color either which was the reason I purchased. The roots do look ok on this orchid hence the one star. This is the second time ordering and I have been disappointed both times.
Lovely plant and a sheath!
Very happy with this plant and the service we received from staff.
After I ordered Munekazu Ejiri I was told that it and one more Fragmipedilum are sold out. I asked to cancel all my order so I can get the plants directly from Ecuador when the weather is not hot. Then suddenly both of those were magically found. I received broken orchids that lost turgor and with no roots. The velamen just went of all the roots without me using any tools. The first picture shows the comparison of this one with Phragmipedilum Apollo I've got from Ecuador in April. I presented it because it contradicts the management statement about the poor conditions of those two plants that "temperature changes, transit time, and the shipping process itself can cause some degree of stress to the plants".
La planta llego en excelente condiciones.
I ,received a very nice plant, after 2 months roots starts to grow , means she adapted to the Belgian climate. Now waithing for the first flowers.
