Maxillaria aurorae (or weberbaueri) culture?
Hi all,
I was at an orchid show/sale this morning and became momentarily rendered of my senses and I bought a maxillaria species from a vendor from Peru. It was labeled as Maxillaria aurorae, had a pretty picture, so of course I had to indulge myself. I figured I could get some culture notes doing some research online. Well, ain't much out there on this one, other than a couple of notes saying this is more properly known as maxillaria weberbaueri. I've attached some photos of the vendor's label and of the plant. It looks like a less vigorous max. tenufolia
Their packaging says intermediate to cool growing, but what I found says " hot to warm growing epiphyte or occasional terrrestrial " so I'm at a loss.
Maybe sphagnum with some small orchid bark? mixed with small pieces of styrofoam? A more robust mix?
Any advice is welcomed.
