Well-established blooming size division in 3" clear net pot.Blooms randomly year round with single flowered inflorescence that bears a burnt orange flower with dark spots. Flowers are about the size of a quarter.
Care: Cool to intermediate temps, and likes shade to indirect sun. Regular year-round watering with light feeding.
Well-established blooming size seedling plant in a 3.25" pot. These plants are ready for mounting or hanging baskets (either is preferable to a pot for adult plants). Very Limited!The flowers of this species are unusual, even for a Bulbophyllum! Each flower is almost 3" long from top to bottom. The maroon background is darkest at the top and highlighted by yellow spots (it resembles snakeskin to me) and slowly fades to white on the bottom sepals. It's beautiful and weird at the same time! Flowers in the winter.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps, Indirect light, and moderate year-round food and water.
Beautiful semi-peloric flowers! The lip and petals are purple and the sepals are green with purple spots. New growth has dark pigment spots which is indicative of spotted flowers. Fast growing and showing great hybrid vigor!Please note: These are seedlings, not mericlone plants. Each plant will be unique. So far, all have followed a theme: semi-peloric with purple petals and lip, and green sepals with purple dots.Care: Bright indirect light, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a slight drying period in the winter.
Seedling special! 3 near blooming size Cattleya hybrid seedlings in 2" pots for $24!
Grower's choice includes classic remakes of well know hybrids with our best specimen plants and new hybrids to the orchid world!
Well-established near-blooming size seedlings in 2.25" pots. If treated properly, these plants will bloom next year!Flower pictures are from both parent plants. We expect the plant size (compact), flower shape and size (1"), and a number of flowers per spike (5-10) to be similar to the E radiata parent while the color should be a little lighter and have spots (from the C Interglossa parent). These seedlings may even be fragrant. Remember, this is our best guess and everything will vary from seedling to seedling.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and let dry between light waterings in the winter.
Well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot, or near blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.
These vigorous, fast-growing hybrids have produced really lovely flowers! Each flower spike produces 2-4, 3" flowers that look almost identical to E. brassavolae except they are bluish-purple. Flowers late summer. Because these plants were raised from seeds and are not mericloned, the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant.
Our hybrids are created from superior plants that we have acquired over the years. We breed for vigor, quality, and size.
Care: bright-very bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and feeding spring-fall. A rest period in the winter is advisable with less water and no food.

Well established blooming size seedling in 3.25" pot. Very limited quantities.One of our own hybrids that we think is going to get better with age. The flowers are shaped like E radiata but bigger. The color is definitely influenced by C patrocinii, I would describe it as bluish purple. Most of the plants produced 3 flowers per spike the first time they flowered so we think flower count will increase as the plants mature.This plant is easy to grow, compact and unique!Our hybrids are created from superior plants that we have acquired over the years. We breed for vigor, quality and size.
1 lb of Long coconut husk fiber. Great for many plant uses, particularly with orchids. $6 discount when you purchase 3 lbs (Select the 3 lb option, not 3 of the 1 lb option)!
Here at the Orchids For The People nursery, this is our go-to potting medium! 95+% of our plants now live in just coconut fiber! It’s easy to use. When using it as a potting medium just fluff it up, pillow (don’t wrap) it around the roots, and stuff the whole “unit” into a pot with really good drainage. We recommend terra cotta pots or “Raindance” pots, which we also sell. The “unit” should be very snug in the pot.
What we love about coco fiber:
Slow to break down. Will easily last 2 years, the maximum recommended time between repottings.
Very lightweight (easy on the back and the tables).
Holds moisture while allowing great air circulation when used with the appropriate pot (lots of drain holes) or basket.
Roots and flower spikes penetrate easily. You never have to worry about whether or not your Stanhopea or Dracula flower spike is going to make it out of the basket!
We also use it to wrap plants before mounting them. This protects fragile roots during the process and creates a small, more damp microclimate allowing the plant to acclimate quicker with less stress. Plus, it helps hide the wire or string used to affix the plant to the mount.
We also use it to "top dress” pots when using other potting mediums. This prevents weed growth, slows water loss, soil erosion due to overhead watering, and moss and algae from accumulating on top of certain mediums such as sphagnum moss.
Large, well-established blooming size division in a 3.25" pot.
Flower spikes develop in the fall-winter and carry 1-3 silver quarter-sized creamy yellow flowers. The lip is very dark brick-red and is hairy.
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
Known as the Beautiful Coelogyne, this species blooms sequentially with 1 to 3 flowers per spike. The musky scented flowers arise out of the center of a new pseudobulb growth and can bloom at any time of the year but most often in spring and summer. The flowers are about 6 cm in diameter. The lip is white with orange-brown or dark brown spots. The large side lobes of the lip are brown or red and curve up to form a tube that almost completely covers the spine.
Care: Cool to hot temps, indirect-bright indirect light, regular year-round watering and light feeding. The warmer the growing conditions, the more often it should be watered.
Near blooming size division (2 old bulbs and at least 1 new growth) in a 3.25" pot.Beautiful, pendant flower spikes develop in the fall and carry 5-10 silver dollar-sized fragrant flowers. Flowers are light yellow with gold highlights on the lip and column.
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
