Maxillaria tenuifolia conditions for blooming
Hello everyone!
Over the last two years I have purchased two Maxillaria tenuifolia and I have a couple of questions-
First - they are growing well, but no blooms. I don;t even get signs of blooms, just more growth. Is the trick fertilizer, water, light or a combo of the above that is my problem - they get pretty strong light, regular feedings and good watering as is evidenced by their good growth. But no blooms.
Second - the tenuifolia that I have has leaves that are about 18 inches long. The local museum greenhouse has one of these that bloom every year - but the leaves are really short - like maybe 8-10 inches long at the most.
Are there two varieties floating around of this plant, or is this related to care also?
