Arpophyllum giganteum

[Candace]

While making a division for someone, I made an extra. It's 5 healthy growths and will look similar to this in bloom.

Looking for species in trade like schoenorchis, dendrobium, bulbos (that I don't already have). Would consider paphs too. PM me if interested.

Or $15 plus $6.00 shipping will do the trick. Shipped bare root.

The culture tips I've seen for it say to grow it cool, but my g.h. gets to 100 in the summer and I've had no problems growing or blooming it.

Quite unique, I love the color and the dispaly along with the plant should be really awesome to see.

Mine get very high light, hung at the top of my g.h. with my catts and some vandas. Lows of around 50 degrees and high of 100 in the summer. I've had very good success with these in semi hydro.
