Check your Maxillaria tenuifolias!
Checked mine and there are several spikes forming. Coconut is on the way! :biggrin:
|
checked mine this morning. no spikes just roots
|
I just checked mine a few days ago, nothing yet! Last time I got blooms was 2 years ago, last winter was just too cloudy and it didnt get much sun, even in a south facing window. This winter has been only marginally better so i don't know what to expect...
|
I got lots of new bulbs this winter, so blooms can't be too far away. I guess one benefit of a brutally cold winter is lots of sunshine!
|
Nothing yet on mine either, but they always just seems to pop out of nowhere. Can't wait.

Two spotted on mine. This year I am so ready for them...every other year they catch me totally by surprise!
|
I just examined mine and, as always, if it is going to bloom, it is being very secretive about it. I am glad that others have the same difficulty.
Mine is pretty faithful about blooming just when I am wondering where I failed culture-wise for the year. :| |
Would like to know more about culture. One I have is getting closer to the compost each day unless I get it some help. I'm doing a lousy job!

I got mine many years ago, before I discovered orchid information was on the internet. I had no real idea how to grow it so I treated it like a Cattleya and potted it up in red lava rock. About five years ago, I buried much of it when putting it in a larger basket pot and every year now, I get new blades of 'grass' poking up out of the rock around the main mass. I have the entire thing sitting in a bowl of water (it loves water).
It will live with lower light but it really prefers Cattleya light. It seems pretty tolerant temperature-wise. Hope this helps! |
