Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes. They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant). In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style! Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.

Well-established, blooming-size in 2.25" pots. This mini-miniature, epiphytic orchid species is native to the high-elevation cloud forests of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Platystele misera is highly prized by micro-orchid enthusiasts for its continuous blooming habits and delicate, translucent flowers. It is an "ever-blooming" species. Mature plants produce new flower spikes before the previous ones finish, keeping the orchid almost constantly in bud or bloom.  Care: Prefers cool to intermediate conditions. Ideal daytime temperatures are around 20°C (68°F), dropping to 12°C (54°F) at night. It should be protected from temperatures exceeding 25°C (77°F), high humidity levels between 70% and 80%, and constant, gentle airflow is crucial to prevent stagnant moisture from causing rot or fungal diseases. Keep the growing medium consistently damp but never soggy. Partial shade or low-intensity light (around 50–100 PPFD). Keep it entirely out of direct sunlight to avoid scorching and drying out the tiny leaves.
