Shop Spring Blooming Orchids

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.
