Maxillaria sophronitis is a delightful, mat forming miniature that is an easy grower if you keep it wet or damp at all times as it grows in the Venezuelan cloud forest, up to 5000 foot elevation. It can be mounted where it will quickly form a specimen plant if given constant moisture and 2500 plus foot candles of light. We grow ours shady and intermediate with the pots sitting in a tray with an inch of water. These are blooming size divisions.
