The flowers aren't much to look at but pound for pound, this species is one of the worst smelling orchids I own. Smells like dead manure. If you like stink, or are looking for a gift for someone you despise, this guy is for you. Easy to grow and flowers way more often than I want it to!Care: Regular watering and light feeding year round, indirect light to shade, and intermediate to warm temps.
Maxillaria schunkeana. Well-established blooming size division in a 2.25” pot.
This beautiful miniature Maxillaria is one of the few orchids that produce "black" flowers. Not truly black, the small (about the size of a dime) flowers produce so much purple pigment that they appear black to the eye. The flowers emerge from new, mature pseudobulbs on short stems holding the flower at pseudobulb height.
Care: Intermediate-warm temps, indirect light and regular watering year-round.
Some people consider these "miniature" plants but we like to call them "small". The plants tend to have a creeping, mat-like habit so it prefers to be mounted. It's considered a rain forest orchid so it prefers cooler temps and moderate, consistent moisture and high humidity. This is an easy, fast-growing plant. The beautiful orange-red flowers are easy to spot and are quite pretty.
Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
The coconut cream pie orchid! With some orchids, they're fragrant but it's a stretch to call them "chocolate" or "vanilla". With this plant, it smells like there is a pie in the oven!
This plant is one of our favorites. It grows fast and flowers well when treated nicely. The flowers are small (1.5" across) but a plant in a 6" pot may have 100 or more at the same time.
Care: Cool to warm climate, bright indirect light, let dry out between light waterings in winter.
Large, well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.This is a great little plant! Super easy to grow and very forgiving. Likes temps from cool to hot, doesn't mind drying out a little between waterings, likes bright light, and produces bright yellow nickel-sized flowers randomly all year long. What's not to like?Care: Regular year-round watering and light feeding, cool-hot temps, bright indirect light.
