Big, well established blooming size plant in 3.25" pots.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). They are easy to grow and get large fast. Plus, when you have a specimen size plant in 6 or 8" pot in flower they are a sight to behold! I've seen plants with upwards of 100 arching inflorescences in flower at the same time!
Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light and regular year round watering and light fertilizer.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
This is an unusual Dendrochilum. Instead of being a "clumper" like most in the genus, this plant is definitely a "runner"! Will form large tangled mats that make it great for a mount or basket.
Long chains of beautiful, medium-sized (for a dendrochilum!) bright yellow flowers with white in the throat. Flowers smells like orange creamsicles!Care: Easy to grow plants that like cool-warm temps, indirect light-shade, regular year round watering and light feeding. This species thrives on neglect in a greenhouse.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2" pot. Limited supply!
Dendrochilums are often called 'grass orchids' for their leaves or 'fox tail orchids' for their beautiful displays of long, many-flowered spikes. D. pangasinanense is a small (4" tall) sized Dendrochilum with spikes that will carry 20-30 bright green flowers. They tend to bloom multiple times a year, summer-winter.A small, fast-growing plant that flowers repeatedly late fall-spring. Great for terrariums, vivariums, small grow spaces, and anyone who loves minis!Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding year-round.

Dendrochilums are often called 'grass orchids' for their leaves or 'fox tail orchids' for their beautiful displays of long, many-flowered spikes. D steophyllum is a medium-small (6" tall) sized Dendrochilum with spikes that will carry 40-50 white flowers. They tend to bloom multiple times a year, summer-winter.Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light, and regular watering, and light feeding year-round.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). I like these tiny plants for a number of reasons. They are easy to grow and get large, for a miniature, fast. A specimen-size plant fits easily in a 4" pot. Our specimen-size plant produces hundreds of tiny arching inflorescences in flower at the same time! That's thousands of tiny flowers open at the same time!
Care tip: These plants should never dry out completely.
Dendrochilum wenzelii 'Pololei Scarlet'. Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). This plant is easy to grow and gets large fast. Specimen size plants are a sight behold! I've seen specimen plants with upwards of 100 arching inflorescences in flower at the same time in a relatively small 6" pot! Flowers late winter to early spring.Care: Regular year-round watering (do not let potting medium dry out completely), bright indirect light and intermediate to hot temps.
The plant shipped will be the same size or larger than the plant pictured but it will not be in flower.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). They are easy to grow and get large, for a miniature, fast. Maxing out at about 6" tall, a specimen size plant fits easily in a 4" pot. I've seen plants flower with nearly a hundred arching inflorescences of tiny white flowers, all of which open at nearly the same time!Care: This is an easy to grow orchid. This species likes cool-intermediate temps, consistent year-round water, and indirect light.This would be a great plant for a terrarium or vivarium.
This is one of the bigger-flowered Dendrochilum species. Each long, gracefully arching inflorescence produce up to 30 flowers each. This plant is quite a site when it reaches even close to specimen size when blooming! Generally blooms late winter-spring.
Care: intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, and plenty of water year-round.
Dockrillia (syn. Dendrobium) toressae. Well-established blooming-size plants mounted on madrone. These plants were mounted in the summer of 2020.
A true miniature. This wonderful species from Australia has textured, succulent, alternating, tightly-packed leaves that turn red in high light. Over time, the plants form mats that completely colonize their mounts.Most people grow this species mainly for the leaves and growing habit. The tiny flowers are just a bonus. The long-lasting, almost transparent, yellowish-green flowers appear frequently throughout the year. The flowers are large relative to the size of the foliage (but they’re still tiny!) and are long-lasting.It’s a must-have for a collector of miniatures!Care: Dockrillias are famous for being super resilient orchids; this species is no exception! It can handle near-freezing cold and sweltering heat (It experiences both seasonally in its native habitat). It does best in cultivation with cool-warm temps, regular watering spring-fall with less in the winter, and bright indirect light.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot. This species produces flowers that truly have a monkey face (I actually see baboon)! Most Dracula species have more cryptic color patterns, but not this one! The white flowers with red tepals really stand out. The main body of the flower is 1.5" and the overall length is 4.5". Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. The 4" flower spikes will emerge from around the margin of the plant as well as out of the sides and bottom of the basket and the flowers face down. Must be hung because of the flowering habit.These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want.
Care: Cool, moist, and shady is the mantra for Draculas. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
The nice thing about this group is if you can grow one Drac you can pretty much grow them all. Like their cousins the Masdevallias, when these plants are happy they grow like weeds and are prolific flowerers.
Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
This is one of the biggest flowers in the genus Dracula. From top tip to bottom tip these flowers regularly reach 7"! The creamy white sepals are covered with red markings. Hairs cover the sepals but are especially prominent around the margin of the flower. To top it off, the hinged lip is huge and curves up around the edge to form a pouch. Each flower spike will produce 2-6 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. Flowers late summer-winter.
The 16" flower spikes will emerge from around the margin of the plant as well as out of the sides and bottom of the basket and the flowers face down. Must be hung because of the flowering habit.
These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want. Dracula culture is simple; cool, moist, and shady. Minimum low temp of 46 degrees F and a high of around 85. Anything over 80, keep the plant really wet. We like to water them morning and evening at least a couple of times a week in the summer. Folks with greenhouses that have swamp coolers grow them directly in front of the cooler. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.

With very few exceptions, these plants flower out of the side or bottom of the basket. Regardless of how the spike emerges, we grow all the plants of this genus in net pots.
Near-blooming size division in a 3" net pot.
This species produces flowers that truly have a monkey face (I actually see baboon)! This species produces flowers with white sepals with red stripes that radiate from the center and a red dot on its "forehead". The main body of the flower is 1.5" and the overall length is 4".

The 4" flower spikes will emerge from around the margin of the plant as well as out of the sides and bottom of the basket and the flowers face down. Must be hung because of the flowering habit.Flowers (for us) late summer-winter. These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want.
