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.
Blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
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.
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.
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 all year.
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 mounted plants. We imported these plants 6 months ago but held on to them to ensure the plants were healthy and strong (they are!). All plants being sold have new roots and shoots post-importation.Bulbophyllum skeatianum var Yellow is a great miniature species from Malaysia and Laos that produces yellow flowers that bloom summer through fall. These are vigorous growers and will grow great potted or mounted and can also be grown well in a terrarium or on a windowsill.Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, daily light misting, light fertilizer 2x/month when growing new roots or leaves.
Mature, mounted blooming size plants. We imported these plants 6 months ago but held on to them to make sure the plants were healthy and strong (they are!).Small is an understatement when describing this species! Commonly called the millipede orchid because of its growth habit. This species hugs its growing surface looking for any crack or crevice to follow. The flowers are nearly identical to S fragrans (but without fragrance) but the sturdy, succulent leaves are about 1/2 the size (1/4" long, 1/8" wide)! The plant tends to branch randomly (these plants are already branching).
Blooms randomly at the nodes all along the plant in the spring-early summer. The tiny flower spikes hold up to 6 long lasting, brilliant pinkish-purple flowers.Great for terrariums!Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, daily light misting, light fertilizer 2x/month when growing new roots or leaves.
Well-established blooming size plant in 2" pot.
This tiny flowered species is easy to grow with intermediate to warm temps, bright indirect light, and enough water and humidity to prevent it from drying out for long periods of time.
It's a favorite at the nursery for its forking growth pattern that creates an open yet bushy plant.
Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
15-30 small, fragrant vibrant yellow flowers seem to erupt out of the base of the leaf! When in full flower the plant seems to be covered in little yellow pompoms!Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding. This species should never be allowed to dry out completely.
Well-established blooming size plant mounted on madrone wood and nestled in a in a 4" net basket.This beautiful, hard-to-find yet easy-to-grow plant is an amazing addition to any collection! It's compact but not so small as to disappear. And the flowers! First off, they're bigger than a pseudobulb and leaf combined. And they hang off the plant just enough to be the center of attention when in bloom. They are also long-lasting (approx 1 month). When the plant flowers, all the buds open at the same time so it's quite a show. Oh yeah, they're fragrant as well!Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect sunlight, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall. in the winter, it's advised to let it dry out between light waterings with no 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.
