Product Description
This is one of our all-time favorites, and we were blown away when we first saw the flowers it can produce.
The blooms are a deep, dark orchid blue, and there can be 3 to 5 on a stem. AND it’s easy to grow.
Bollopetalum Midnight Blue is a cross between Bollea violacea and Zygopetalum B. G. White. This one is a clone of a very nice but not yet awarded Bollopetalum Midnight Blue ‘Cardinal’s Roost.’
Grow this one in bright indirect light, in a temperature range of 55 to 85 degrees. Try not to let it dry out completely, but don’t keep it sopping wet. Fertilize twice a month. The flowers can have a natural spread of 7 to 8 cm, and a vertical spread of 9 to 10 cm.
This one is freshly repotted in sphagnum moss in a 3.5 inch pot. It stands nearly a foot high already. We think it will bloom within one to two years, and if we had to guess we’d say probably closer to one year.
As always, we guarantee safe arrival.
Plants from The Orchid Gallery are guaranteed. Period. We ship your plants Priority Mail via the USPS on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you ever have a problem with something you purchased from us, we will work it out with you, up to and including a full refund.
