These have sprouted and are ready to ship! Some may come in a soil mix with sphagnum moss on top, and some may be potted into pure sphagnum moss. Both methods work! These are offered in 2 pot styles for aesthetics, which are 3D printed Dendrobium K20 2" pots. Your choice of the classic black with gold trim, or the iron kiku design. We are also offering them in square plastic 2" pots.

This species is Native to shaded mountainous cliffs in Shikoku and Kyushu, and produces grass-like foliage from an underground tuber. The flowers emerge from the apex, producing lovely displays of colorful flowers with a wide array of patterns. In the late summer to fall months, the foliage will brown and go dormant. By late fall, store the tubers with or without their soil in cool, dry conditions. Typically, by late January to late February, the tubers will be ready to sprout growth again. This species can even be planted in the ground in zones 7a - 9b, but we recommend marking where they are due to their small nature! These are all random in flower type, so once your Ponerorchis blooms, you may try to match it to one of the commonly described varieties: graminifolia, kurokamiana, nigropunctata, or suzukiana.

As of Spring 2025, 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!
