Brassavola Little Stars Orchid – Nodosa X Subulifolia – 2″ Pot – Collector Orchids

A primary hybrid between Brasovola nodosa (Mexico) and subulifolia (Jamaica). This free flowering hybrid has a very aromatic fragrance at night and is easy to grow. Perhaps one of the best orchids to try if you want to venture out to something new as they seem to grow and flower even easier than the typical Phalaenopsis! In addition, this is a fantastic slab growing plant if you’ve ever wanted to try one!

They are frequent bloomers, with the heaviest blooms in the fall or winter. These are not especially challenging orchids to grow—if you can grow any of the epiphytic orchids with success, you can grow these. They grow readily in baskets, mounted, or in containers with a soilless orchid mix. Brassavola orchids have long, thin, tubular leaves that can reach up to a foot in length and sometimes appear unrolled or flattened. Brassavola orchids and their hybrids have much smaller pseudobulbs than other epiphytic orchids, so the leaves often appear to arise directly from the rhizome without a thick pseudobulb. The typical Brassavola flower features an enlarged, scoop-like lip with petals and sepals that have narrowed into spear-like shapes.
