FLASK: Leptotes pohlitinocoi PENDANT BRAZILIAN MINIATURE, SWEET orchid species

Description: Up for Sale: A flask of Leptotes pohlitinocoi. A species first described in 2004. The blooming images are of the parents of the cross. The seedlings are growing in a 24 oz plastic flask which is shown in the images with the tape measure. [4000-4001] Contents: Approximately 25 seedlings that are ready to come out of flask. The Species: This Brazilian native has terete leaves that are 4 to 6" long. The leaves are arching to pendant. The flowers are a bit less that 2" and are carried on a short inflorescence with 1 to 4 of the successive flowers. This is named after the discoverers of the plant who are Mr. Pohli and Mr. Tinoco. The species name is pronounced Poh-lee-tin-O-co-AY. Culture: I have grown this well in intermediate conditions and always as a mounted plant. Give it moderate to moderately bright light. The plants seem to do well with a wet/dry cycle so I wait to water until the plant has dried a bit. It can also be grown in warmer conditions.

Your plant will be packed very carefully, but I cannot guarantee that flowers or spikes will be intact on receipt. I want my customers to be happy, so if there is a problem contact me immediately, I will do my very best to see that it is corrected. About this flask: I take great pride in producing flasks with strong seedlings that are ready to come out of flask and have a very good survival rate. The survival of these seedlings is dependent on the conditions where they will be growing and the skill of the grower. If you are new to deflasking seedlings (or just want to see how I do it) you may want to take a look at my webpage with suggestions for taking seedlings out of flask. If you want to see it, just do a search for the phrase “deflasking suggestions. Shipping seedlings: After a bit of experience shipping flasks, I have decided that deflasking before shipping is probably the safest for the plants. I will shake off most of the medium, treat them with beneficial microbes and fungicide and put them in a zip bag. If your prefer to have them shipped in flask you must let me know that. Whether they are in flask or bagged, you should be prepared to pot them up shortly after receiving.Shipping & Handling Charge: It is the buyer’s responsibility to check the weather in the delivery area and let me know if special precautions are necessary.Packing and shipping for the first plant or flask is US $13.95; additional plants or flasks in the same shipment are only $1.50 each. I usually ship on Monday/Tuesday or Saturday after receipt of payment. The plants need to be dry to ship safely and that can take several days.

Shipping with a heat pack is extra work for me and I won't recommend it unless I think you really need it. IF your daytime temperatures are below 40F a heat pack may or may not be advisable and we should discuss. If your daytime temperatures are below 32F I don't usually recommend shipping even with a heat pack. If your package will be sitting outside in a mailbox or on a porch after delivery that needs to be taken in to consideration.If you have concerns about the weather in your area, I am happy to work with you to be sure that the order arrives safely by having it held for pick up at your local post office, by timing of shipment and/or heat pack from my Ebay listings or by using USPS Express or FedEx Next Day or Second Day Air shipping for an adjusted price.
