Maxillaria aff. subulata - Pine Needle Orchid

This orchid species is potentially undescribed, but it looks most similar to Maxillaria subulata, giving it the designation "aff. subulata." The needle-like leaves of this orchid are stiff and succulent, and the pseudobulbs are deeply ridged. This plant grows wild in Brazil, and has small yellowish blooms with red centers.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Some direct lightokay.
• Water: Prefers frequent waterings (every 1-2 days) in the summer, and slightly less frequent waterings (every 2-4 days) in the winter. Soak orchids in room-temperature water or run water over the roots until fully saturated.
• Considerations: This plant typically blooms in the spring and likes a warm environment.
