Maxillaria Densa Care?

[greggnkay]

I have a Maxillaria Densa due to arrive this week. Any tips on care and culture? I have a Max. Ten. that I mounted on cypress with sphag in May. I think it initially resented being moved from its pot. Very slight pseudobulb wrinkling, but since increasing watering to morning soaks and afternoon heavy misting it is showing new growth just below one pseudobulb. (daytime highs near 90 right now) I can see active roots near the top of the sphag. Would late afternoon sun (2-3 hours max) hurt this plant?

The Densa is in a 6" basket and the pics show the basket relatively full.

Any advise regarding the Densa or my Max. Ten. are appreciated.

I grow my densa in oncidium type light and keep the roots moist, but not soppy wet. Its done well for me. As far as tenufolia. They are supposed to be fairly easy to grow and bloom. They do however have some angry tendencies when it comes time to get repotted. So just give it a chance to take off.
