Um...

I may not be part of the project. But I actually own a Max tenuifolia.

As long as you guys know that even though the Max tenuifolia is a fast growing species, that tiny division ain't gonna be blooming for you any time soon, and you're fine with that - then by all means go ahead with the ones from Ian's Orchids.

Just sayin' y'all.

Thanks Phil! That's a very important consideration. Although it doesn't affect me, it's good to know! That's for your

Would you share, please, how do you grow it? As for size, i am sure it will grow. (Unless it doesnt grow and die ) Where is the challenge in getting blooming or close to blooming plant?
