Add Your Opinion About This Plant
An epiphytic orchid confined to Brazil. It is a naturally occuring hybrid between M. clowesii and M. spectabilis. Grow epiphytically on bark slabs or in pots up to about 8" diameter. Pseudobulbs grow off elongated rhizomes so if grown in pots,use pots that allow for rhizome spread. Use a mix of peat with coarse sand, charcoal and perlite. Ensure high humidity, good drainage, and good ventilation to foliage and roots. Allow for winter rest period but takes a reasonable amount of water in the growing season. Feed with fish emulsion fertiliser at 1/4 strength whilst growing. If grown epiphytically, can use old stocking, wire mesh or permeable fabric to affix to growing medium while roots establish. Flower stalks may need to be staked.
