Maxillaria tenuifolia 9cm pot

This is a fantastic orchid for beginners to add to their collection. Commonly known as the coconut orchid from Mexico and Nicaragua.  With it's delicate leaves this sympodial orchid grows a bit differently in that the pseudobulbs grow on top of each other.  As it remains a fairly compact orchid it is ideal if space is at a premium. But what really catches me every year when it flowers is the incredible fragrance, which as the name suggests is coconut. 

Temp: Intermediate to warm grower

Light: High light

Water: Allow to almost dry between watering 

Size: Flowering size in 9cm pots

This orchid really likes humidity ranges between 40% and 70% and good airflow.
