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.
Didn’t appreciate that I had to substitute another orchid. The Laelia I received wasn’t all that healthy looking,
Imagine my shock when this very large, fully rooted plant arrived. I was expecting something much smaller and in poorer condition, so I am thrilled with the size and condition of my new plant. Looking forward to beautiful blooms.
In Alta Verapaz, Guateamala where I grew up, these orchids grew in the leaf litter of pine forests. I never saw any growing epiphytically. They were always growing in the ground - and not in the hardwood forest.
Quick shipping, packaged well, and plants were bigger than i expected for the price. Will definitely be ordering from here again.
