Maxillaria lehmannii

[Blueszz]

Today I received 3 new orchids. Among them Maxillaria lehmannii. For the past week I tried to find a lot of info about this plant, but the information I find is limited.

Do you have some pointers for me?

Well, I can tell you what works for me, my conditions are a good bit different than yours, though... Plastic basket with sphagnum, keep it a bit damp (like most Maxillarias), filtered sun or bright shade. It is pretty cold-tolerant, since I grow it outside (winter lows to 4 deg C or a bit below) At your house it would likely be happy outside in the warmer months, winter indoors in one of the cooler areas.

Thank you Roberta, as always, your insight is appreciated.

I think I can provide the needs for this plant. We'll see if it will flower for me.
