Hi all! New orchid owner here...
I purchased a maxillaria tenuifolia from a botanical garden sale about ~5 months ago, about 2 months ago I moved it from the original pot to some organic orchid mix - I think it's some mix of spaghnum moss and tree bark. Trouble is, ever since I moved it it hasn't grown, and in fact has gotten worse. There was a period of time when I left it outside to fend for itself, and the heat caused the pseudobulbs to wrinkle pretty badly. Since then, i've been afraid to leave it outside for fear of further wrinkling, but I don't think the indoors has enough heat/humidity to keep it happy.
Should I break up the pseudobulbs and take out the old shriveled ones/replant it in a more snug pot?
Thanks for any advice!
