Miniature Orchid: Haraella retrocalla, Mounted, Adult Size

Packaged with care. Arrived heathy and safe via USPS. Love how tiny and cute it is. Already rehoused it to its own Terrarium. Roots are healthy and green. Will take cork ball off when bloom stem grows longer. The crown of the plant is facing downward to prevent rot. Awesome value since other sites wanted just as much as plant for shipping. There is a sheet with qrc for instructions.

Would highly recommend, had an issue with my first plant, not sure if it was something I did wrong. I contacted the seller they immediately sent me a new plant that is doing great. Great customer service and really nice plants. I would recommend them to anyone if your looking for good plants and a seller who goes the extra mile.

Arrived looking reasonably healthy, but no spikes or flowers as was advertised. The mounting is nice but very impractical. I have about 90 orchids in my house, many types, and have been taking care of orchids for decades. This is a very high maintenance orchid. It has to be watered every 1-2 days, and it's quite humid here right now. In the winter, when we use forced air heat and the humidity is low, this plant wouldn't last a day mounted as it is. I had a stretch of 3 days this week when I didn't water it and I found a wilted, half dead looking plant. I cut it off the mounting and planted it in moss that will stay wet for a few days, and we'll see if it recovers. Based on experience, I'd say 75% chance it will die.

Probably should have looked at review photos before ordering, as the image showing how it’s mounted was the main reason I chose this one. I loves the cork bark look, but it came on a tiny piece of plain plywood. Although I am unhappy with the mount, I am happy with the plants overall health. It has nice beautiful foliage and roots. It came with one yellow leaf that has since fell off, but that’s to be expected when it is over 100° outside and it’s packaged for a week in transit. Even with the high temperatures and travel it was still slightly moist upon arrival. Value for money spent, it’s okay. It would have been better if this was cheaper because of the wood used. I would have been much happier with a nicer mount for the price. Hopefully, this tiny beauty will put on growth for me and make beautiful flowers. The first photo is right when it arrived, the second is today.

The first Orchid I received was not in great shape. I didn't think it had a flower spike on it (as advertised!) so I contacted customer service and sent them a picture. As it turns out, there actually was a flower spike. They send me a very nice email response and pointed out the flower spike. This being said, the plant itself was not is good shape, it was dehydrated and looked like it would lose most of its leaves. Customer service offered (without any prompting from me) to send me a new plant free of charge. The new plant arrived today and it's in great shape. I am very happy with this vendor and will buy from them again. Keep in mind that these are miniature orchids! The plants are very small and the flower spikes are difficult to see until they mature and start to bloom.

Nice healthy specimen. Good size for a miniature, and it shipped quickly. However it was mounted on plywood? So the image needs to be updated. I would call that false advertising. 5/5 health 4/5 value 2/5 mounting (looks pretty shoddy and the wire is visible)

I bought this little guy about a year ago and had it in a seashell stuffed with moss by a fountain. He wasn't very happy there though getting misted. I decided to wrap him with a bunch of sphagnum moss onto a piece of burl wood with rough bark and place with other orchids under a grow light. That was when he really started to grow and just tonight I discovered the little dickens had put out the cutest yellow flower about the size of my middle fingernail lol! Soooo cute! Orchids are fussy. If they don't get enough moisture, too much moisture, not enough light, too much light etc they just might not bloom for you. I never gave up hope I'd get a flower and now will make extra sure to keep my conditions stable. Fertilize weekly weakly using rain water, mist every other day to wet the moss and roots during the heated indoors dry Winter months, make sure to keep the light levels similar. Many orchids need a drop in temperature in the Fall coupled with shorter periods of light to signal it's time to bloom. They need cycles of light and dark, like to 'go to bed' at night without artificial light shining on them. My orchid arrived in great shape, healthy plant, but probably should have transferred him over to his permanent tree bark home earlier and also made the mistake of using well water with heavy minerals. The white blotches on some leaves are calcium deposits - orchids need rain water!

In the listing they show and claim it’s mounted on bark. As you can see it’s plastic wrapped to a piece of processed wood . Very disappointing since I wanted to put this in my terriaum for my dart frogs and the bark would have been great . I cut the plastic wrapped and it just fell off not really “ mounted” imo.
