Question 1

Where does Orchid Insanity grow their plants?

Accepted Answer

No, we don't currently grow our plants in Florida.  We're located in California, near Monterey.

Question 2

HOW DO THESE PLANT USUALLY GROW??

Accepted Answer

You'll want to keep the temperature above 55, but below 85 with the highest humidity. Bright light, but out of direct sunlight is best--even a strong halogen bulb will burn the leaves. Repot it as soon as it comes in, mine had a solid ball of sphagnum in the roots which will rot and cause damage to your roots. Don't repot in a huge container, orchids like to wrap their roots in a ball, so choose a pot only slightly larger to promote growth. Repot once every two years, you'll notice the bark chips start to break down--thats when to repot. Many people avoid terracotta because the roots will bind to the edge, but I like that it helps wick away excess water in the bottom of the pot. Edging with a butter knife will get the roots to come back out with little damage.Water it with about 1/4 cup of water around once per week. Keep it in well draining soil (I use mostly bark chips, but you'll need to figure out what is best for your climate) Starting in November, you'll want to water it half as often until it grows a flower spike. If May comes around and still no flowers, go back to usual watering and try again next year with a little less watering. If you start using fertilizer, make it half as strong as suggested on the bottle for the first couple uses, going straight to full strength fertilizer can burn the roots.

Question 3

is it shipped with in a pot?

Accepted Answer

Yes - a very tiny pot.   The plants needs repotting as soon as possible into a larger pot.

Question 4

Are these orchids  mature and in spikes or  buds ?Am so afraid to buy on line because experience all the plants that I bought too small didn't surv

Accepted Answer

Dendrobium kingianum is our top-selling orchid.  In our listing, the title, bullet points, and product description all state clearly that these plants are not in bloom when shipped.  The photos also show plants representative of what you will receive, and these photos do not show flower spikes or flowers.  Obviously, we are selling orchids here, and most people buy orchids because they like the flower color and shape, so we show a picture of what the flower of this type of orchid looks like when it blooms.  Otherwise, how would people know what the blooms look like?  But as we've stated multiple times in multiple ways, the plants are NOT IN BLOOM when shipped.
