Plants Off-Sale Now, But Returning!

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.This is an Orchids For The People in-house hybrid that has turned out fantastic! The plant has a compact, upright growth habit that makes it very manageable (it won't grow out of its pot quickly or get knocked over easily). Each flower spike produces 5-10 flowers. The flowers are 2-3" across and 3-4" top to bottom. The narrow petals and sepals are a warm gold color, and the huge white, spade-shaped lip is decorated with purple dots that are concentrated near the tip. The flowers produce an amazing honeysuckle-like fragrance that is strongest at night! Care: These are tough plants! They prefer bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a drier rest period in the winter.

3 large, mature bare-root bulbs of Pleione formosana. Lab raised from seed, bred from our finest examples.Ready to be potted and will flower in 6-8 weeks! I will ship these with a detailed care sheet. The plants die back to the ground in late fall and need a dry, cold rest for a couple of months. When the leaves start looking ragged in the fall we dig them all up, sort them for size, store them in boxes in a cool, dry dark place, and don't bother them until late January, early February. They seem to prefer shallow "bulb pans" with a mix of 1/2 soil 1/2 fine bark with the bulbs sitting on top of the mix. Bulbs flower 4-6 weeks after breaking dormancy (and before the leaves emerge)Care: Medium-light and Medium temps while active. Hardy to 20 degrees, many people grow them outdoors in mild climates. I think these are some of the most magnificent orchids grown in cultivation today. Very large lavender petals and an elongated white frilly lip with brown spots. The flowers are even more spectacular because they bloom when there is still very little foliage so all you see are the flowers! We have a very limited quantity of these plants each year. When they are gone, we won't have any more available until the fall!

This is a very easy to grow terrestrial orchid from Australia. Plants arise from a small corm and can colonize a large pot very quickly. Best grown like Pleione, in a large, shallow "bulb pot" in a 3:1 soil to perlite mix. At our nursery, we keep the plants moderately moist and lightly fed throughout the growing cycle. When the plants start to look like they are dying we stop watering them.  We don't restart watering them until green leaves again develop. Corms can be collected while the plant is dormant or just leave em alone and they will continue to take over their pot. New plants will even develop from roots sticking out of drain holes.Definitely a conversation starter!
