Maxillaria Pepe Portilla

A cross between Max. fractiflexa and Max. speciosa, this hybrid features striking flowers with elongated, tapering segments that curve gracefully downward. Its unusual floral silhouette adds sculptural interest to an orchid collection.

  • Light: Moderate to bright, filtered light near an east-facing window or beneath light shade. Protect from strong midday sun.
  • Temperature: Cool to intermediate conditions, approximately 55–77°F (13–25°C), with cooler nights. Avoid prolonged heat.
  • Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle, consistent air circulation.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, keeping the medium lightly moist while allowing it to become slightly drier between waterings. Ensure free drainage and avoid prolonged dryness.

Additional Notes:

Long, prominently pleated leaves rise above flowers carried on slender stems near the base. Use an airy, moisture-retentive orchid mix and leave space around new growths. Repot when new roots begin to develop, taking care not to damage emerging buds.
