Notes

Coconut orchid (Maxillaria tenuifolia) is a houseplant for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average moisture. It blooms from early to late spring, and the fragrant flowers add scent to your space. The evergreen plant grows 12 to 24 inches tall.

Pairs well with Spiderwort, Reed grass, and Vermillionaire cuphea.
