Description
**We have a few more left! Please note these are just sprouting as of 4/1/24, and are just visible breaking the surface. In addition, we tape down sphagnum moss on the surface to protect the foliage and keep the soil, which is topped off by fine bark, in place during transit. You can remove the sphagnum moss once you remove the tape.
This beautiful species from Japan produces grass-like foliage from a below-ground tuber. This aesthetically pleasing miniature orchid looks wonderful in a small decorative container! The flowers emerge from the apex producing lovely displays of colorful flowers with a wide array of patterns. These tuberous orchids go dormant through fall and winter, during which the pot containing the tubers should be kept in a cool area. The tubers may also be unpotted and refrigerated in order to simulate the conditions of their dormancy. This species can be planted in the ground in warm zones 7a - 9b. This species sprouts new growth in spring, sending out flower spikes with 10 to 20 blooms per spike. Once your Ponerorchis blooms, you may try to match it to one of the common described varieties: graminifolia, kurokamiana, nigropunctata, or suzukiana.
As of Spring 2024, these orchids are sprouting and set to flower between May and June. Grown as a mixed batch, your Ponerorchis will bloom with any mix of colors and patterns shown in the photos!
