Live Phaius orchid plant is blooming size, but NOT currently flowering.
This orchid is doubly unique in that it’s a shade-lover, and that it’s terrestrial in its native habitat! Phaius Lady Ramona Harris ‘Here’s Looking at You’ is well adapted to orchid potting media, but if you live in a region with no freeze, it does wonderfully well in a perennial garden! Large flowers come in on tall, 2-3′ spikes. The back of Phaius flowers are white, contrasting with the front, where the show really happens. Flowers are exceptionally long lived.
Live orchid plant comes in a 4” nursery pot, with the perfect potting media to keep your new friend happy and healthy. Also available in 4″ decorative biodegradable organic polymer pots.
Care is very easy – this plant will put out new spikes multiple times a year with minimal attention! This orchid prefers regular fertilization (“weakly, weekly”), and occasional misting. Choose an eastern exposure (or south/west with a dappled curtain) for the most vigorous growth!
This orchid breed is native to tropical climates and does best around 65 to 80 degrees. Weatherized shipping is included with all our plants whenever required. We delicately wrap our live plants in layers of sheet foam, and include a 72+ hour heat pack when temperatures are low. However, we make no guarantees that our tropical plants will survive extreme freezing temperatures. It’s the duty of the buyer to open packages immediately upon arrival. Our commitment to excellence means we ship exclusively USPS Priority 1-3 day, as all live plants should be. Consider having your order Held for Pickup, or delayed during extreme weather — just send us a note with your order.
