maxillaria buchtienii question
Two years ago, at the MOS show, I saw a stunning Maxillaria buchtienii. I bought one from Andy. He said to keep it constantly moist. It was in moss and when I repotted I put it back into moss and s net pot. It hangs in a south window which in Indiana maybe sunny or bright, usually.
I had trouble with pleased foliage and scapes stuck in the leaves. Ray commented that no one should have to water that much in moss. I tried to cut back but noticed some root loss. It summered outside and grew a little.
Inside it's flowering but even keeping it moist, I have the same problems as the previous years. How do I provide enough water without rotting? I considered repotting in medium coconut chips. Maybe lose the net pot? Less sun? (Andy was growing it at the top of his greenhouse).
It's not dying but, it's not thriving either. Your thoughts?
