Discover the fascinating Maxillaria Variabilis! This orchid is native to Central and South America, from Mexico to Ecuador. It thrives in a variety of climates, from cool to warm and hot areas, often growing as an epiphyte on trees or lithophytically on rocks in dense humid forests. Its unique flowers, which come in shades of yellow, red, and orange, are extremely durable and can bloom throughout the year.
Caring for this orchid is straightforward. A well-draining, moisture-retaining substrate is ideal. Mineral substrate such as a mixture of lava, pumice, and akadama is excellent and significantly reduces maintenance. This natural form blooms regularly and brings much joy to your orchid collection!
