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.
