    Hello all,

    I have a Maxillaria cerifera orchid mounted on a piece of cocos panel. I don't know how to care for it here in Vancouver.

    At the moment, I have it covered in a clear plastic bag by the window, so that it will be a little more humid.

    Any tips on how to keep this orchid happy would be great.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    On your link there is a link to Andy's Orchids. I recommend that you check out Andy's and find his selection of Maxillarias
    Andy's has a great site with excellent cultivation info that should answer your basic questions.
    The focus should be on warmth, light, and watering frequency!
