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.
Plant arrived ahead of schedule and looked great! Was worried about shipping during the winter storm, but the plant is happy and healthy and I will definitely be looking for more!
Arrived in perfect condition- packaged well- 2 day air is best way to go during winter. Hot pack was still warm on arrival- currently acclimating in my Milsbo tall
The plant I received was not healthy at all. It was wilted and rotten. I was very dissatisfied and disappointed ☹️ I wish it could be replaced!
Beautiful healthy plant,just how it was described. Can wait to see it bloom,love it
It’s hard to find this species and Ecuagenera offered a great price. I purchased insulation for the order and it arrived in perfect condition!very happy with my order.
