Dendrobium elliotianum
Mature, mounted blooming size plants. We imported these plants 6 months ago but held on to them to ensure they were healthy and strong (they are!). These plants have flowered at the nursery and are currently producing new leaves, pseudobulbs, and roots. Small is an understatement when describing this species! These mature plants measure 1-2" top to bottom and produce tightly packed pseudobulbs with skinny leaves that are about 1“ long at maturity. Pseudobulbs lose their leaves after they mature and before they flower. Each mature, leafless pseudobulb will flower more than once. Produces 5-8 shirt button-sized, long-lasting, shiny white flowers with a purple lip. Blooms in succession in summer, and can produce several to more than 20 flowers at the same time once flowering occurs! When blooming, its brilliant pinkish-purple flowers are long lasting and fragrant. Fall-winter flowererCare: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, daily light misting, light fertilizer 2x/month when growing new roots or leaves.

Dendrobium loddigesii
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.

Big, chunky, well-established, flowering-sized plants in 3.25" pots. This new cross is another great plant for beginning orchid growers!

Produces a flower spike at the top of new growths which continues to elongate and produce flowers sequentially from bottom to top over a period of months!We're not quite sure how tall these plants will get but they seem to be on the "compact" size for reed stem Epis. They have already flowered at less than 18" tall. Care: Very easy to grow. Cool-Warm temps,regular watering and light feeding spring-summer with a drier rest period and no food in the winter. Essentially the same as any other reed stem epi.
