I have manage to get a few of the these Spathoglottis unguiculata "grapette" - Ground Orchids. Picking 1 up here and there, but at store the other day I found four 3 gallon pots of the Grapettes, and they were the cheapest pots yet at $15 each. So the other day I finally put them in their new home. Planted underneath my jasmine bush I have planted all of the Grapettes to form a very nice size patch. I have been working on the perimeter and these are the first set of pictures with more to come. Here are the pictures of the Spathoglottis unguiculata "grapette" - Ground Orchids in their new home!
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.

I just bought a quart-sized pot of these at Lowe's in Bradenton, FL, during my visit there last week for $6.95, and brought it home to Ohio. I'll be keeping it potted, since they won't survive our winters and I'll have to bring them in.
ReplyDeleteAnything special I should know about them?
Just bought one at Lowes in Tyler, Texas for $3.50 50% off since it was the last one with no name or barcode. I have other ground orchids so recognized the foliage. Ours here in East Texas freeze and come back from the roots.
