Maxillaria Picta is an enchanting orchid that originally comes from Brazil and Argentina. This orchid species forms striking, grooved, egg-shaped bulbs and develops leathery, firm leaves that overhang elegantly. The fragrant flowers, which unfurl on short stems below the leaves, are a real eye-catcher: they shine in a delicate white-yellow colour with striking, dark red markings on the outside.

A temperate location is ideal for cultivating Maxillaria picta. The plant thrives both in a pot and tied up. Ensure regular watering, but allow the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid waterlogging. It is also very grateful for fresh air, so it can be kept outdoors in summer. During the winter months, Maxillaria picta should be kept slightly cooler to simulate its natural conditions.

Look forward to an exotic orchid that will create a very special atmosphere in your home with its beguiling fragrance and decorative flowers.
