Light, regular fertilizing spring-late summer
Well-established, small blooming size plants in 2” pots.
This is a great little plant, suitable for a beginner but cute enough that it’s a great plant for any collector! It has a rambling habit that makes it well suited for a hanging basket or pot. It makes for a superb specimen plant due to its small stature and its tendency to produce large flushes of beautiful, large (for the size of the plant), fragrant flowers all at once. The flowers have bubble gum pink sepals and petals and a fimbriated white lip with a large central orange disc. Flowers late winter-spring.
Care: Bright indirect light. Prefers warmer, wet summers and cooler, drier winters. Fertilize regularly when actively growing.

Dendrobium speciosum var curvicaule. Well-established, near blooming size seedling in a 3.25" pot.
Australian Dendrobiums are one of my favorite groups of orchids, and this is the queen of all Dendrobiums! It is one of the more compact varieties, so it won't eat up too much space (for a speciosum!).
These plants are super hardy. They can handle light frosts and temperatures over 90°F. They like very bright indirect sunlight. Truly wonderful plants.
If you are looking for a heirloom plant that can be passed down for generations, this is a great choice (I have one that is almost 70 years old)!

Big, well established blooming size plant in 3.25" pots.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). They are easy to grow and get large fast. Plus, when you have a specimen size plant in 6 or 8" pot in flower they are a sight to behold! I've seen plants with upwards of 100 arching inflorescences in flower at the same time!
Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light and regular year round watering and light fertilizer.
This is one of the bigger-flowered Dendrochilum species. Each long, gracefully arching inflorescence produce up to 30 flowers each. This plant is quite a site when it reaches even close to specimen size when blooming! Generally blooms late winter-spring.
Care: intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, and plenty of water year-round.
Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
This species produces small (about the size of a nickel) flowers that truly have a monkey face! Flowers in the summer for us. The short flower spikes emerge around the margin of the plant. The flowers tend to open all at the same time so it looks like a whole pack of monkeys (albeit tiny monkeys!) staring at you! Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. Best if hung up in a basket but this is one of the few Dracula species that can be grown in a pot on a table.

Care: Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°F. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet. We like to water them morning and evening at least a couple of times a week in the summer. Folks with greenhouses that have swamp coolers grow them directly in front of the cooler. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
Dracula houtteana in a 3" net pot.
Most flower spikes produce 4-7 flowers sequentially. The flowers are medium-sized, 2" from tip to tail. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. Care: cool, moist, and shady. Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet. We give our draculas lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
The nice thing about this group is if you can grow one Drac you can pretty much grow them all. Like their cousins the Masdevallias, when these plants are happy they grow like weeds and are prolific flowerers.
Please note that plant may not currently be in spike or flower when shipped.
