In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

Maxillaria tenuibulbon is an unusual and rarely offered orchid known mainly for its fine growth habit and subtle flowering. Due to its elegant appearance, this species is loved by connoisseurs and collectors of unusual orchids.

Origin

Maxillaria tenuibulbon is native to Central America, particularly in countries such as Costa Rica and Panama. The species grows there epiphytically in moist mountain forests, often at high altitudes where the climate is temperate and humid.

Characteristics

This Maxillaria-species forms small, slender pseudobulbs from which narrow, sturdy leaves sprout. The plant grows relatively compact and has a refined appearance. The flowers are not large, but have an attractive waxy texture and subtle colors that range from pale yellow to cream, sometimes with reddish-brown markings in the center. The inflorescence usually appears solitary from the base of the plant and emits a light, pleasant fragrance.

Care

Light

Maxillaria Tenuibulbon likes bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially in the afternoon hours, to prevent leaf burn.

Temperature

This orchid likes moderate temperatures between 15 °C and 25 °C. The absolute minimum temperature is 13 °C. If the plant falls below this limit for an extended period of time, it may suffer damage or die. Make sure the temperature does not drop too far at night, especially in winter.

Substrate

Use an airy orchid substrate based on fine bark, possibly mixed with some sphagnum for extra moisture control.

Humidity

A humidity of 60% to 80% is recommended. Regular spraying and the use of a humidifier can help keep conditions optimal.

Nutrition

During the growing period Maxillaria tenuibulbon be fed weekly with a diluted orchid fertilizer. During the dormant period, fertilization can be reduced to once a month.

Watering

Keep the substrate evenly slightly moist without getting soggy. Preferably use demineralized water or clean rainwater at room temperature to avoid mineral accumulation.

Flowering

Maxillaria tenuibulbon usually blooms once a year, often in spring or early summer. The flowers are not strikingly large, but have a charming simplicity and a subtle fragrance that enthusiasts appreciate.
