That is a great method by mrsquirell...

It reminds me of my method, I create a really humid environment by using a cup so I avoid the bulky bowl, the moss and whatnot and just use a cup to create the micro-climate he talks about.

Humidity in the room becomes practically negligible using a micro climate around the roots, as long as the roots stay hydrated without rotting of course then the leaves generally stay hydrated, no matter what the humidity.

I always start with the airiest substrate which is large grade lecca and pumice and then add smaller grade on top as needed if the pot needs to stay more humid.

An update: the other half has fully opened and the area is saturated with a sweet perfume. It's surprising how floriferous this one is - it only has a couple of p-bulbs!

Question... Andy's shows rodrigueziana and rodrigueziana Giant. Do you know which one you have? It appears to be the same, other than one says 5" blooms and the other 8" blooms. Maybe just rodrigueziana on steriods?

Mine is "Maxillaria rodrigueziana yellow" on Andy's site. I didn't realize there was a giant version!

Me neither. But gonna try to stick with small version. The “Giant” must be some of same species that’s just a bigger version found? Would be interesting to find out.

{{sigh}} and now the quest to actually find one.
What is better or different about this from SH? Other than harder to flush? What am I missing?

Folks lower on the hill or the east side of the mountain aren't so lucky. Once temps start pushing 90F, there's no amount of breeze that can keep indoor spaces feeling comfortable.

Do you see temps near or over 100F, or does your part of RP have enough coastal influence to moderate temps?

RJSquirrel explained it in a series of messages which are now hard to find. I don't think he did a single post that explained it all; you have to dig through many threads on other topics to piece it together.

The plant is in loose medium in a net pot that fits exactly and seals the top opening so the humidity in the root zone stays high. The moss is not soaking wet. It keeps the roots evenly moist and not sopping wet. This method prevents the fluctuation of humidity and moisture that happens with S/H in the root zone because the exposure to outside air is very much smaller than with S/H.

I haven't been up to Fallbrook but it sounds like it's cooler in RP. It's generally in the low 80s during the summer but it has gone up past 100 a few days. but I think it's near freezing tonight...!

Thanks ES! That helps. I could not appreciate that the sphag was loose.

I might have to try a few more cold pluerothalids to compare this to the batch I have in SH

I still say my modified SH with a basket and bowl is great for outdoor plueros here but the indoor humidity thing is interesting
