Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. Dendrochilum glumaceum produces foot-long flower spikes with 50-100 flowers per spike. To me, the flowers smell like a combination of old-fashioned clove gum with a dash of Aqua Net hairspray. It's interestingly pleasant! Flowers randomly on new growths throughout the year.These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). This plant is easy to grow and gets large fast. Specimen-size plants are a sight to behold! I've seen specimen plants with upwards of 100 arching inflorescences in flower at the same time in a relatively small 6" pot! Care: Regular year-round watering and light feeding (do not let medium dry out completely), indirect light, and intermediate to warm temps.
This listing is for Dendrochilum javieriense. Big, well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pots.This species has stiff, narrow 8"-12" leaves. Flower spikes are 10"-12" and produce many small yellow flowers that are concentrated on the upper 1/3 of the spike.
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-intermedite temps, indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light fertilizer.
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.
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.
Picture of plant not in bud representative of plant for sale.
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.
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. A cute, easy-to-grow Eria (closely related to Dendrobium) species.
The buds develop a wooly exterior (they look like hanging caterpillar coccoons) before opening to reveal a beautiful 1/2", creamy-white flower with distinctive red venation. Nonresupinate (upside down) flowers. Flowers winter-spring.The medium-small plant has pseudobulbs that are almost Hershey Kiss shaped (globose) and are initially covered by a mahogany-colored sheath. Each bulb has 1 or 2 dark green shiny leaves. Great for pots, hanging baskets or mounting.Care: cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, year-round regular watering.
Well-established blooming-size plants mounted on Madrone.Beautiful white, crystalline white petals and sepals with a purple lip. The upper sepal twists and juts forward and resembles a mohawk. Very light fragrance. Spikes produce up to 20 flowers when fully mature (the plants in this listing are seedlings flowering for the first time last year). Terete leaves are 6-8" long. Branches when mature and develops into an open, shrubby plant. Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular (every 1-2 days) watering spring-fall with a slightly drier winter rest. Regular light-feeding spring-fall. Best mounted or grown in a basket.
Well-established, blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
We bred 2 of our nicest plants to bring you these blooming-sized seedlings. There has been a little bit of diversity in color patterns in these plants but the majority have been solid pink. Great size in the flowers (not award-winning huge, but then neither is the price) and the plants are stout and vigorous.
Flower spikes are 2-4' tall and produce 4-6 flowers each. Flowers smell faintly of vanilla, especially after being watered.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps (can be grown cooler than cattleya), regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a moderately dry rest period in the winter.
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.
Large, well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.This is a great little plant! Super easy to grow and very forgiving. Likes temps from cool to hot, doesn't mind drying out a little between waterings, likes bright light, and produces bright yellow nickel-sized flowers randomly all year long. What's not to like?Care: Regular year-round watering and light feeding, cool-hot temps, bright indirect light.
