Guaritonia Why Not (3.5” pot blooming size)

New! We are really happy to be able to offer this classic once again and think it is the best hybrids ever created from Broughtonia sanguinea. Young plants will start out with a few flowers per spike, but they come on every new growth and plants begin to multi-lead and an early age. Once mature, the growths are between 6 and 8 inches tall, and each one carries a spike of a dozen or more dark ruby red flowers with a bright yellow center. Often these spikes will grow and continue to produce more flowers from the tip or from side branches for months. By the time they are finished, the next spikes aren’t far behind. We recommend this orchid for basket culture as the plants grow larger. If you use a pot, then make sure the mix is large and open so that plenty of air can get to the roots. Over time, this is sure to become one of your favorite orchids.l
