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.
packaged very, very well. I’ve never seen something packaged so secure. I just received my plant. It looks in perfect health but then again I just received it. Will definitely do an update.
I ordered plants from another company that have ended up upside down and damaged. Because you include the packaging immediately around the soil and then wrap it they arrived nicely. They seem to be adjusting and I have now transplanted them into terracotta pots.

She is stunning! She's not fussy, took to the repot perfectly and is putting out a new leaf!
