Blooming size 3 plant bare-root divisions. Please note: the plants will not be blooming upon arrival, the photo shows what to expect as far as plant/division size.
Looking to fill that tiny space in your greenhouse? Are you a mini junkie (like me!)? Here is a great one!
Each plant is the size of a quarter with tightly overlapping leaves that grow in a single plane to produce what looks like a tiny palm frond. The plants are connected with a 1” long rhizome to form a branching string of plants.
And it has flowers that are as large as the plant itself! Beautiful light pink, crystalline flowers with markings that differ from plant to plant. Flowers for us randomly throughout the year with long-lasting flowers. 2-4 flowers per spike.
These plants need little to no potting media. We throw them in empty baskets, string them through our “wire walls” where we hang our mounted plants, etc. Great for mounting, the parent species both grow on twigs in the wild. Usually, one plant has what looks like a precarious hold on a tiny branch and the rest of the plants are dangling in free space!
Care: These plants like bright-very bright light and intermediate to hot temps. Water often spring-fall and let them dry out between waterings in the winter.

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 3.25" 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.
Epidendrum neoporpax. Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
We love this plant! It mats into a specimen in a short time. Flowers several times a year and we call it the "baboon butt" flower for obvious (to me :) reasons. This is a great orchid for vivariums and small growing spaces!
Care: Easy to grow in moderately bright to partial shade conditions. Like to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Moderate water year-round.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot. A plant this size will typically produce 20-30 flowers when it blooms. Very limited quantities!
A small, fast-growing plant that flowers repeatedly late fall-spring. Great for terrariums, vivariums, small grow spaces, and anyone who loves minis!
This is a lovely miniature species! Tiny Masdevallia-like flowers that have a light green background with red spots. Rarely seen for sale and is a great addition to any Pleurothallid or cool climate collection.
Care: Best kept on the cool side (but doesn't mind intermediate temps) and moist.
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.
Miniature orchid species Mediocalcar decoratum. Blooming size plant in a 3" basket.
These tiny, mat-forming plants produce a flush of tiny (the size of a sunflower kernel) orange and red flowers that remind me of candy corn! Spring bloomerCare: Cold to intermediate temps, partial shade, regular watering year-round and regular, light feeding spring-fall. Never let the plant remain dried out for an extended period, especially in temps over 75°F.
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.

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.
This little plant produces beautiful mahogany-red flowers that are large for the size of the plant. Wonderfully fragrant, they smell just like cinnamon oil. Flowers late summer.
Care: cold-intermediate temps, shady conditions, and regular year-round watering and light fertilizer.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.This Masdevallia produces compact, fleshy flowers that are crystalline white in the center, 4 purple stripes in the top sepal, and yellow tepals. One of the easier-to-grow Masdevallias for people who live in warmer climates. Flowers in the early summer and then again in the winter in our greenhouse.Care: Regular year-round watering and light feeding, shade-indirect light, and cool-warm temps.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
Fast-growing plant that flowers repeatedly late fall-spring.
Care: Cool-Warm temps, indirect light-shade, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. These plants are ready for mounting or hanging baskets (either is preferable to a pot for adult plants). 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.
