    Description

    SORRY BUT THIS PLANT CAN ONLY BE SHIPPED TO US ADDRESSES.
    EULOPHIA PETERSII
    IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW, TRUE DESERT DWELLING TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS.  This orchid is widely distributed in the dry areas of Africa.
    This is easily grown IF you put it in a very sandy mix and treat it like a cactus. It will cluster readily and flower when it is ready. My flower spikes are about 30-50 inches tall and can have 50 or more fairly large attractive flowers.
    The clusters shown are small clusters of two or three heads and are fully rooted.
    I grow it year round in Southern California, exposed to the winter rains just like my cacti. The bulbs are hard and solid. The leaves are also solid, not flexible at all. They really look like plastic plants.
    These are very healthy plants grown in full California sun.
    We are selling these small clusters for each
    The clusters are plump and vigorous from the heavy winter rains. They will be uprooted and sent with healthy roots bared, so all you need to do is pot it. DO NOT USE ORCHID MIX OR BARK. SANDY OR GRAVELLY SOIL ONLY.
