Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). I grow this little gem in a southeastern windowsill underneath other plants that filter the light. It likes to be kept on the damp side. It is a very easy orchid to grow and makes a charming plant even when not in bloom.
Comments: Parent plant: Miniature.

You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
