In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

This is just a small plant. This little plant just came out of the laboratory bottle. The little plants are mounted together on 1 block. This is a miniature orchid.

Origin

The Dendrophylax lindenii is also called Palm Polly, White Frog Orchid and Ghost Orchid. It is an extremely rare orchid that was discovered in Cuba in 1844 by Jean Jules Linden. Much later, the plant was also discovered in Florida in the Everglades. In Florida, this orchid is protected by law and is therefore no longer allowed to be picked from the wild. This is also the reason why this orchid is still so incredibly rare and mainly cultivated. 

Characteristics

The lindenii consists mainly of roots that grow on a tree. These roots have photosynthetic properties. Thus, it is quite normal if this orchid does not grow leaves. Moreover, from a very small size, this orchid is mature and capable of flowering. 

Old name

Previously, this orchid was called Polyrrhiza lindenii when the genus name had not yet been changed. 

Care

This orchid is usually considered difficult, but in our experience, care is fairly easy if the orchid is kept on a block and in a terrarium. Then this orchid can absorb enough moisture from the air. In addition, give mainly rainwater mixed with osmosis water and not tap water. Too much lime, chlorine and minerals in the water can damage this plant.
