BLOOMIFY Mounted Miniature Orchid - Haraella retrocalla - Wrapped with Long F...

I've been wanting an orchid, but couldn't justify the cost. I saw this cute little plant on sale and I couldn't resist. It was shipped promptly and I received it in prefect condition, like it didn't travel here through the mail. It is tiny, but that is what I was expecting. I remounted to a sheet of cork bark and it looks happy so far (fingers crossed). I can't wait to see the flowers (also - fingers crossed). If I don't kill this plant I will definitely buy another orchid from this seller.

This orchid arrived to me very healthy looking and I am excited caring for it. When I took it out of the packaging, there was an immediate whif of strong fruity fragrant that lasted for days. I know I won't be able to keep it always moist on the platform wood it came with so I decided to plant it on a pot (inner pot with holes and decorative outer pot for easy draining during watering) with fresh orchid potting mix and sphagnum moss. It's been on the third week and so far it's looking healthy and alive. Love this miniature orchid! ❤️

I have always had great success with orchids. This one though, is impossible. The first one tanked within a week and they replaced it with a second. It tanked also. I guess it's just a very temperamental orchid. I would like a replacement but not that one. A person has to be alright with their limitations. I have raised many different species of orchids but this one has stumped me. No amount of coddling helped. I hope this comment helps. Great company , your service was excellent. The Dendrobium cucumnerium is thriving and beautiful.

I've done some research and these stay about this size. I should remind myself to be careful being on Amazon late at night because I almost forgot I bought these! The are mounted on pine which won't last forever, but it's fine for now. I have some cork that I'll use when I transfer them plants. I took them out to the moss to examine them and I am happy with the tiny purchase. I have hung them on the side of my little tank and they make me smile when I look at them. I hope to be able to keep them happy!

Not rare as claimed, but otherwise pretty good and a great price. I grow lots of orchids - this arrived fast and in good shape. If you know nothing about growing orchids, don't get this, but if you do know how to handle them this is a charming (and rather common) species with interesting flowers that are huge for such a tiny plant.

I wouldn’t suggest anyone buy an orchid mounted on a wood square unless you already plan on remounting it as soon as it’s received. I figured it was only mounted like this just prior to shipping for the purpose of transport. $12 is a good price for that. I only mention it since other reviews seemed surprised it didn’t live long mounted as it came. But I definitely wasn’t expecting the amount of root and stem rot they had. Seems too extensive to have happened just during shipping. Looks like three or four keiki were just thrown onto the board and piled with excessive spagnum hoping someone would buy it before it died. There’s no way an orchid grower wouldn’t know these aren’t going to make it as is, and I think it’s kind of bad business that they don’t let buyers know that.

Another edit: ordered again and this time got two little healthy orchids. They are happy and doing well in their terrarium, even growing new roots! Edit: the seller contacted me and issued a full refund so I'm increasing the rating to 4 for great customer service. I might give them another chance. If I do so and the delivery goes well, I'll update the review again. The orchid is tiny, smaller than what I saw in the pictures posted in other reviews, which is not an issue for me, because I was anyway planning on placing it in a terrarium. The state in which the orchid arrived was awful, as you can see in the picture. It is mostly rotten, with the top leaves falling off and visible mold (and is that spider web?) on the plant.

I bought this for myself about 8.5 months ago. It is still alive. It was really full and leafy when it arrived. Its many roots were very short and curly so that it was really difficult to secure it to the piece of driftwood I wanted to mount it on. After a few months the leaves on one side shriveled and died and came off. I was so disappointed because now it is not as pretty as it used to be. It is still attractive, but its stem has a big brown leafless area. I remounted it just in case its roots were not getting enough moisture from the wet moss. I don’t know why it happened. It seems to be ok now. I keep it in a terrarium with an opening on the side so that it gets fresh air. I put a mixture of moss , bark, and perlite on the bottom which I spray with water frequently which supplies humidity. I sniff the mixture frequently to be sure it still smells like fresh bark and moss. I also spray with a fine mister most days. I started to collect rain water to soak and spray it with. I have also started to fertilize with Miracle Grow orchid mist. I really hope it blooms for me. Our house can get a little cool in the winter, plus there was that big die-off a while back. I just keep hoping.
