Cuttings will also be in wet paper towels and secured in plastic wrap to maintain moisture. My Reed Stem orchids grow organically in sunny South West Florida where they can be admired almost all year long. Reed stem orchids are considered the easiest to grow of all the orchids. Cuttings may or may not have flowers still in place. Note that flowers may fall off the cuttings during shipment. Do not think the cutting is dead. This is a very hardy plant that can survive shipping. Plant your plugs/cuttings as soon as you receive them to increase your chances of success. Plant in a container with well draining soil in a semi-sunny area to allow for new roots to form. Rooting may take up to 3 weeks before the cuttings becomes well established. Reed Stem orchids are very hardy orchids that are perfect for even those who have no green thumb (SMILE)” Read Lessabout the seller notes

THE REED-STEM ORCHID OR REED STEM EPIDENDRUM HAS MANY NAMES THAT INCLUDES FIRE-STAR ORCHID AS WELL AS CRUCIFIX ORCHID. THIS EPIDENDRUM IS CONSIDERED THE EASIEST OF ALL THE ORCHIDS THAT YOU CAN GROW. IT IS A STURDY, GROUND ROOTING PLANT THAT COMES FROM A GROUP OF TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS KNOWN TO PRODUCE CLUSTERS OF FLOWERS THAT ARE SHAPED LIKE THOSE OF THE CATTLEYA ORCHID BUT SOME- WHAT SMALLER THAN THE FLOWERS OF THE CATTLEYA. TYPICALLY, THIS ORCHID WILL BLOOM SEVERAL TIMES DURING IT’S SPRING TO SUMMER SEASON. THE REED STEM ORCHID HAS BEEN DUBBED “THE POOR MAN’S ORCHID” DUE TO IT’S LOWER COST COMPARED TO MOST ORCHIDS. UNLIKE REGULAR ORCHIDS, THIS IS A PLANT THAT IS EXTREMELY LOW MAINTENANCE, GROWS VERY EASILY, AND FOR THE MOST PART IS SELF PROPAGATING ONCE ESTABLISHED. EVEN NEWBIE GARDENERS CANNOT EASILY KILL THIS ORCHID WHICH CAN BE SEEN GROWING WILD ALONG THE ROADSIDES OF SOUTH/CENTRAL AMERICA. THEY HAVE BEEN SEEN GROWING IN MANY DIFFERENT HABITATS INCLUDING DAMP RAIN FORESTS, DRY TROPICAL FORESTS AS WELL AS SUNNY GRASSY SLOPES.

THIS ORCHID MAKES AN EXCELLENT PLANT FOR EITHER YOUR FAVORITE DECORATIVE POT THAT YOU CAN PLACE ON YOUR PATIO OR POOLSIDE. IT CAN ALSO BE PLANTED IN GROUND WHERE IT MAKES AN AWESOME GROUND COVER. REED ORCHID DOES WELL IN BOTH TROPICAL AS WELL AS SUB-TROPICAL CLIMATES. THE ABILITY OF THIS PLANT TO PROPAGATE ITSELF MAKES IT A TRUE WINNER. IT DOES SO BY PRODUCING PLANTLETS THAT GROW ATTACHED TO THE STEM WHICH ARE CALLED “KEIKIS” (THIS IS AN HAWAIIAN TERM FOR BABIES). KEIKIS ARE A CHARACTERISTIC SEEN IN MANY OF THE EPIDENDRUMS.

KEIKIS ARE NEW VEGETATIVE GROWTHS THAT ARE PRODUCED BY OLDER STEMS AND FLOWER SPIKES. ONCE THE KEIKIS PRODUCE ROOTS THAT ARE BETWEEN 2 TO 4 INCHES LONG THEY CAN BE DETACHED FROM THE PARENT PLANT AND SET INTO NEW CONTAINERS. REED STEM ORCHIDS ARE HARDY FROM USDA ZONES 8 THROUGH 11 DEPENDING ON THE SPECIES YOU ARE GROWING.

SOIL: THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT REED STEM ORCHID CAN TOLERATE ALMOST ANY SOIL TYPE SINCE THEY CAN GROW UNDER THE MOST ADVERSE CONDITIONS WHEN IN-GROUND. IF CONTAINER GROWN, A COMBINATION OF PEAT, PERLITE, FINE TO MEDIUM GRADE BARK AND OR COCONUT CHIPS WILL KEEP YOUR PLANT LOOKING IT’S BEST!! I HAVE ACTUALLY GROWN SOME IN REGULAR POTTING SOIL AND FOUND THAT THEY STILL GROW VERY WELL WHICH PROVES THE POINT THAT THEY CAN GROW IN ALMOST ANY SOIL CONDITIONS AS LONG AS THE SOIL DRAINS WELL.

SUNLIGHT: REED STEM ORCHID CAN BE GROWN IN FULL SUN BUT EXCESS SUN/HEAT OR EXCESSIVE COLD CAN LEAD TO THE GREEN LEAVES BECOMING BRONZED, FOR THIS REASON IT DOES VERY WELL IN PART SUN AREAS AND CAN ALSO BE GROWN INDOORS NEAR A WINDOW WHERE IT CAN RECEIVE BRIGHT LIGHT. IF NOT PROVIDED ENOUGH SUNLIGHT, REED STEM CAN BECOME VERY LEGGY AND FLOWER PRODUCTION WILL DECREASE. THIS IS ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE PLANTS BECAUSE IT’S SO DIFFICULT TO KILL THAT YOU PRACTICALLY HAVE TO SHOOT IT WITH A SHOTGUN TO DO SO. IT IS ALSO A PLANT THAT IF YOU HAVE ONE, THERE IS NO REASON TO NOT REPRODUCE TONS MORE!!!

WATERING: THESE EPIDENDRUMS ARE VERY HARDY PLANTS THAT PREFER MOIST ROOTS BUT CAN TOLERATE DRY CONDITIONS FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. LIKE MANY PLANTS THAT ARE HEAT TOLERANT THEY PREFER NOT HAVING THEIR ROOTS SIT IN WET CONDITIONS FOR EXCESSIVE PERIODS. WATERING SHOULD THEREFORE BE DONE AT A RATE THAT KEEPS THEIR ROOTS MOIST BUT NOT SATURATED FOR LONG PERIODS. IF IN-GROUND WATER EVERY 4 TO 5 DAYS AS NEW GROWTH BECOMES APPARENT DURING THE SPRING. IN LATE SUMMER WATERING CAN BE CUT BACK TO EVERY SEVEN TO EIGHT DAYS. DECREASE WATERING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IF GROWN OUTDOORS. IF CONTAINER GROWN, YOU SHOULD WATER GENEROUSLY TO ALLOW ANY DISSOLVED SALT BUILD UP IN THE CONTAINER TO BE FLUSHED OUT. WHEN NECESSARY ADD SOME TOP SOIL AS SOIL LEVELS DROP.

FERTILIZER/FEEDING: REED ORCHID CAN GROW WILD AND STILL PROVIDE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AS SEEN ALONG UN-KEPT ROAD SIDES IN CENTRAL AMERICA. HOWEVER, IF YOU WISH YOUR IN-GROUND FLOWERS TO REALLY EXCEL YOU SHOULD FERTILIZE WITH A SLOW RELEASE FERTILIZER SUCH AS 20-10-20 IN THE SPRING. THREE TO 4 EVENLY SPACED APPLICATIONS FROM SPRING TO SEPTEMBER IS SUFFICIENT WITH NO FURTHER FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SPRING. IF GROWN INDOORS IN COLDER CLIMATES WHERE LOW LIGHTING IS THE ONLY SUNSHINE AVAILABLE, USE A LOW NITROGEN FERTILIZER TO AVOID LEGGY PLANTS.

TEMPERATURE: MOST ORCHIDS OF THE EPIDENDRUM VARIETY CAN HANDLE A WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES EVEN UP TO NEAR FREEZING CONDITIONS. DAY TIME TEMPS BETWEEN 60 F AND 90 F ARE EASILY TOLERATED. NIGHT TIME TEMPS BETWEEN 30 F AND 70 F ARE GENERALLY TOLERABLE TO THIS ORCHID. IF YOU LIVE IN NORTHERN LATITUDES YOU SHOULD BRING YOUR PLANT IN AT THE FIRST SIGN OF FROST. YOU CAN RETURN YOUR PLANT OUTDOORS AFTER THE THREAT OF FROST IS OVER. TEMPERATURES THAT REMAIN BELOW 55 F FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ARE GENERALLY NOT TOLERATED BY THE EPIDENDRUMS. YY

PROPAGATION: FIND A HEALTHY, ACTIVELY GROWING STEM WITH MANY NODES. YOUR CUTTING SELECTION SHOULD BE FREE OF PESTS OR ANY DAMAGE FROM DISEASE WHICH MIGHT PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING A NEW HEALTHY PLANT. USING A STERILIZED SHARP KNIFE OR GARDEN SCISSOR, CUT A 12 INCH SECTION OF PLANT JUST ABOVE A LEAF NODE OR AT THE BASE OF THE STEM NEAR THE CROWN OF THE ORCHID. THIS 12 INCH CUTTING CAN BE FURTHER DIVIDED INTO 3 TO 4 SEGMENTS AS LONG AS EACH SEGMENT CONTAINS AT LEAST ONE BUD ALONG ITS LENGTH. NOTE WELL THAT EACH CUT SEGMENT MUST CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE BUD OR YOU WILL NOT GET A NEW LIVE PLANT.

NOTE WELL: I BOX AND SHIP MY PLANTS AS SECURELY AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE YOUR CUTTINGS ARRIVE AS HEALTHY AND VIABLE AS POSSIBLE. SOME LEAVES MAY FALL OFF THE PLANTS AND THEY MAY APPEAR SLIGHTLY WILTED ON ARRIVAL. DO NOT BE DECEIVED INTO THINKING THE PLANTS ARE DEAD. I HAVE ROOTED CUTTINGS THAT SAT DRY FOR 3 DAYS JUST TO TEST THE PROCESS FOR MYSELF AND I HAVE STILL BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ROOT THE CUTTINGS. THESE ARE VERY HARDY PLANTS THAT ARE RELATIVELY DROUGHT TOLERANT. THEY CAN BE REVIVED ONCE PLACED IN DISTILLED WATER (IF NECESSARY) THEN TRANSFERRED TO SOIL.

HAPPY GARDENING!!!! 🙂
