Grow the coconut Orchid in your home! 🥥🌴🍹- Maxillaria tenuifolia Orchid Care Tips

Today we are talking about the famous coconut Orchid and how to keep it healthy and blooming in our homes!
🦋 More info below! 🦋

Maxillaria tenuifolia is one of the most popular Orchids in cultivation, due to its wonderful coconut scent. There are a few of us who don;t really detect coconuts, but rather peach, pineapple, or a tropical blend of fruits! I's very yummy and summery nonetheless 😁

Luckily this Orchid loves home conditions and also looks good as a houseplant! It still needs an airy potting mix, but don't let it get dry for too long!

I absolutely love the included information on the needs for this individual plant. If you find time to add individual needs on orchids in future videos I think everyone would be encouraged to expand their collections. Thank you for this powerful video 🎉

[MattManch]

Yes, repotting video!! I love watching those types of videos just as much as your other ones :D

I have mine in 100% sphagnum and she does amazing !! roots grow fast and healthy and she's never dehydrated

[carriechapman]

Thank you for posting this!! I am expecting my first one tomorrow and it’s bare-rooted. Just needed some information on how to tend to it. Love all of your tutorials.

[brendakirk]

Yes, I’m interested in a repotting video. I’v been struggling with mine for so long. I was wondering about the light and water requirements. Apparently I need to move it closer to a higher light situation. I also have to keep it out of reach of my cats, which love to chew on the leaves (just like my spider plants).

Yup would like to watch a video on repotting this orchid

[naomimade]

Thanks so much! I found your channel a few weeks ago, and you are so helpful, and fun to watch as well. I just purchased a coconut orchid from ebay, and an excited to get it. Thanks again!

Mine hasn't again bloomed for me but watching this I figure she might has it to dry, despite the high humidity in our home. So thank you so much for this tip, I will add some sphagnum to her mix

Just purchased the yellow version of this a few weeks ago! Perfect timing!! Mine smells like artificial coconut like a hand soap or a candy version of coconut.

Bought / received a rather young one today with one adorable flower in bloom in the centre of the bulbs and many new growths ready to make their appearance soon. Can’t wait to see how she does in my home. The smell is so pleasant from just one small bloom. imagine full bloom, oh I’m excited!

[Pattymelt]

Yes. Repotting info. For example how big to go to the next pot size. Thanks!❤

[KP-gwzv]

Thank you for this video as the Maxillaria tenuifolia is for sure one I really want in my collection. Love the birds and your grow room.

[Yayakoshii]

This is one of my favorite orchids, found it at an orchid show and fell in love!

[heatherasimos]

I got 2 coconut orchids a few months ago. They’re doing well❣️I can’t wait for spring. Thanks for all the tips and great info❣️

[Andrea-pdbg]

Thank you so much for this Danny, I just bought one, so perfect timing for me to avoid sure disaster! :)

[popcorn]

Yes! Please do a repotting video with this orchid

[megank]

I got everything right except the watering - I got a little lazy during summer. The information you provided in this video is extremely helpful and I would love to see a re-pot in future. Thank you for the great content, and so happy to see Joey too 🕊💗

[AviSLeigh]

I just got this orchid in bloom and it smells like sandalwood to me. Like the actual wood itself. It’s amazing!

[GLFE]

Beautiful orchid! Thank you for your vid 😊 the AoA has a cool webinar now that travels to the Andes in Peru and they show a lot of maxillary tenufolia in situ. It really takes your breath away. You probably have seen it ❤ it's truly amazing !

[Jenii]

Thank you so much! 🤩 I’m going to apply your tips to mine (which hasn’t bloomed in like 3 years) and hope it’ll reward me with some beautiful flowers 🥰
