We grow lots of intermediate growing orchids! It's a perfect fit for our coastal Northern California weather. Nighttime temps for these plants range from 55°F-62°F and daytime temps from 75°F-85°F.
Well-established, blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot. This wonderful and easy-to-grow hybrid. A low-growing, creeping orchid with 3-inch stems covered in thick, alternating fleshy, olive-green leaves. Under high light, the foliage can take on a brownish-bronze or reddish tint. Stays small and highly compact, making it perfect for terrariums, net pots, or mounting on wood.The flowers are large (for the size of the plant) and look like a giant Epidendrum porpax flowers. The flowers feature green sepals and petals contrasted by a large, fringed burgundy or deep red lip. They are long-lasting blooms that appear sequentially or in clusters, making it an almost continuous bloomer in optimal conditions.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and light feeding year-round, with a short dry period in between waterings.
Epigeneium nakaharaei. An interesting and easy-to-grow scrambling miniature. Some now consider this species a Dendrobium. Does well in a pot or basket and loves to be mounted. Very lightly fragrant.
Well-established blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot. Very compact, it produces foot-long spikes with 5-12 flowers. Star-shaped flowers are white with a gold throat.Care: Cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. A cute, easy-to-grow Eria (closely related to Dendrobium) species.
The buds develop a wooly exterior (they look like hanging caterpillar coccoons) before opening to reveal a beautiful 1/2", creamy-white flower with distinctive red venation. Nonresupinate (upside down) flowers. Flowers winter-spring.The medium-small plant has pseudobulbs that are almost Hershey Kiss shaped (globose) and are initially covered by a mahogany-colored sheath. Each bulb has 1 or 2 dark green shiny leaves. Great for pots, hanging baskets or mounting.Care: cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, year-round regular watering.
2 bulb, blooming size bare root divisions that are ready to be potted in 4-6" pots with whatever growing mix you prefer.
These are pretty plants with unusual flowers. The flowers are small, white and faintly fragrant. The are borne on a 6-18" spike that carries as many as 50-75 closely packed flowers, 2 spikes per new bulb. Easy to grow under intermediate conditions. These guys grow fast and big, with a growth habit and plant appearance similar to a cymbidium (24-30" tall and very tight clumps of pseudobulbs).
Well-established blooming-size plants mounted on Madrone.Beautiful white, crystalline white petals and sepals with a purple lip. The upper sepal twists and juts forward and resembles a mohawk. Very light fragrance. Spikes produce up to 20 flowers when fully mature (the plants in this listing are seedlings flowering for the first time last year). Terete leaves are 6-8" long. Branches when mature and develops into an open, shrubby plant. Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular (every 1-2 days) watering spring-fall with a slightly drier winter rest. Regular light-feeding spring-fall. Best mounted or grown in a basket.
Well-established, blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.
We bred 2 of our nicest plants to bring you these blooming-sized seedlings. There has been a little bit of diversity in color patterns in these plants, but the majority have been solid pink. Great size in the flowers (not award-winning huge, but then neither is the price) and the plants are stout and vigorous.
Flower spikes are 2-4' tall and produce 4-6 flowers each. Flowers smell faintly of vanilla, especially after being watered.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps (can be grown cooler than cattleya), regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a moderately dry rest period in the winter.
1 bulb, 1 lead bare root division of Schomburgkia (Laelia) superbiens alba. This plant came from the same seed pod as 'Don Hubert Cross' CBM/AOS but has never been given a clonal name. It will need to be potted in a 6” pot or basket.
The flowers are pure crystalline-white with a splash of gold on the lip and are 6-8” across. The flower spikes start developing Nov-December and can be as long as 12 feet by the time the 8-15 flowers open in the early spring. As you can see in the pics, it is best grown by folks who have a lot of room! If you live someplace it doesn’t freeze, this plant grows great outdoors.
Care is similar to other Laelias: very bright-full sun, cool-warm temps, and lots of water in the spring-summer and very little water in the fall-winter.
Please note - this plant will ship at the "2 plant" rate because of its size.
My mother plant was the original plant (not a cutting) that was born in 1964! In 2020 we had to refurbish the greenhouse and as a result ended up dividing the plant. Prior to that, the plant has not been repotted since the 60's. There is a picture below of me in front of the plant. Check out the video of us tearing it apart!
Well-established, blooming size 3 bulb divisions with a new growth emerging in 3.25" pot.This species blooms late spring to early summer as the new leaves/growths mature. Care: Cool to warm temps, partial shade. Regular watering and feeding after new growths appear in the spring. Little to no water after the leaves start to brown in the fall. These are deciduous Lycaste so they need a cool, dry winter rest.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. Miniature Masdevallia!
A new mini hybrid from Orchids For The People. Fast-growing and floriferous. The flowers fit on a quarter but are tall and big enough not to go unnoticed. This plant would make a great addition to any mini, cool-growing, or pleurothallid collection! It would also look great mounted or in a vivarium.
Care: Cool-intermediate temps, shade-indirect light, regular watering and light feeding year-round.
Blooming size division in 3.25" pot.
This clone of M coccinea has large, round-flat purple flowers measuring 4" tall and 2" wide, held well above the plant on strong stems.
