orchid

Up for auction is a compot containing 4 good sized seedlings of this fairly uncommon orchid. It's related to Stanhopeas, and like them has short-lived (days) but HIGHLY fragrant flowers. These are several years from blooming. They were deflasked a couple weeks ago, and have been hardening off...

Up for bid is 1 small Spranthes cernua. This is a temperate orchid species hardy to at least zone 4. Fall bloomer, spreads very well. Grow exactly like Sarracenia. Pic is of a plant in full bloom in autumn not necessarily the plant you will receive. Bidding starts at $1.00. Winner pays $6.00 for...

I'm offering a blooming size Leptotes bicolor, currently in spike. L. bicolor is a miniature member of the Cattlyea alliance and is a very easy orchid to grow. Very suitable for a bright windowsill. And as a bonus, the seed pods are a source of vanillin and are used like regular vanilla beans...

I was wondering if folks on here are looking for tree fern for orchid mounting and terrariums or whatever. I found a store that has it and purchased five pieces. As a natural product, the dimensions vary, one side if flat, the other dimensions are more or less... 17" x 5" 16" x 5.5" 12" x 6"...

Would anybody trade cps for this orchid?

I have some Orchid divisions to trade for CP's. I don't know what species they are, but they grow bulbs and the flowers smell like chocolate. These divisions were taken on monday. Please email me for pics I want you to see what your trading for. I would be interested in neps, utrics, exc. and...

Hey guys! I was wondering if any of you use a fogger to keep the humidity levels up in your tank. I am thinking about purchasing a small fogger and leaving on the low setting so my humidity will be constant all day. Lowest my humidity gets without a fogger is around 70% before I spray the tank...

Hello everyone! Today I went to the Orchid Expo and got my first plants for my terrarium! Standard Venus Flytrap [/URL][/IMG] Nepenthes Ampullaria [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] Sophronitis Cernua [/URL][/IMG] Tank Shot :-D [/URL][/IMG]

Looking for any terrarium suitable Utricularias. I currently have some multibranched small plants of Pachycentria glauca ssp. maingay available, but could also trade mini orchid divisions, Ceropegia cuttings, or cuttings off my ferns or epiphytes in the greenhouse. Month old pic of the Pachy's...

While planting up way to many Bulbophyllums this evening I got to thinking. With the forums offering a classified section now I think this would be allowed, if not please let me know so I don't break any rules. I usually deflask a few species of orchids a year and always end up with 10-20+...

So recently my significant other got into raising Poison Dart Frogs as pets. In that hobby, it is extremely taboo to keep frogs of different "morphs" together. Morphs are from different regions, and when they breed, the resulting progeny is "unpure." They worry about these getting back into the...

I've been growing Nepenthes clipeata (clone 3) and Nepenthes northiana from Wistuba since 2011 and in that time they haven't done much compared to my other Nepenthes who will have reached their second vine cutting in that time. I am growing them both in my LL chamber (which actually doesn't...

I just want to see if anyone here is a CP grower with an orchid problem like me... I have a bunch of Phragmipedium, all bloom size plants, 18" ruler in each picture for size reference. I am almost exclusively interested in Nepenthes, Cephalotus, and Heliamphora, but may consider others. If...

I got some N. bicalcarata seeds in the mail yesterday, and I'm looking for input on growing media. I used Better-Gro Premium Orchid Moss that I chopped in a blender. I mixed that with an equal amount of plain peat moss and added a little medium grade perlite. Is this okay for germinating...

Hello! Fairly new to the forums, asking all sorts of questions all over the place for my new 3 plants, but I really want to get everything right and not have a graveyard on my hands! I just finished setting up a new terrarium, got brand new lights, and figured out how to keep the darn thing at...

Since I grow mostly Sarracenia there isn't much going on at my house plant-wise. I do, however, have some orchids that are keeping me inspired. I figured someone here might enjoy it, too. This is a Brassocattleya hybrid called Kosh Wallis. Not a bad looking plant considering I bought it from...

I don't know who here has ever tried it but over a month ago I gave several different Nepenthes plants a single watering of straight black coffee I brewed in my regular coffee maker. The coffee "treatment" made a huge difference on every species I tried it on (rafflesiana, mirabilis var...

Many people are surprised to learn about the orchids and epiphytes that are native to the Southeastern US, especially Florida. So here is a thread dedicated to some of those plants. Ecyclia tampensis: Florida Butterfly Orchid; one of my favorites, found all over south FL, even as far north as...

Is my orchid sending up a new flower spike it doesn't look like a root. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/95833406@N05/10639485214/" title="IMG_20131102_220718 by ace209er, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2868/10639485214_3da786e86b_c.jpg" width="800" height="600"...

Hi, I recently started to grow plants, beginning with an Aechmea bromeliad. It's a hybrid cultivar called "haiku". Since I got it, it has grown a little more roots, and a few leaves. I made some mistakes with it like putting an osmocote granule into its cup for a few months. only recently have...
