One of the longest successive blooming orchids of all time, Psychopsis Mendenhall ‘Hildos’ received a First-Class Certificate award from the American Orchid Society. The unusual flower is mahogany and yellow and shaped like a butterfly. The flowers are 2” wide x 5” high. It tends to bloom in late winter or early spring on a 2-3’ tall flower spike. Do not cut the flower spike once the bloom has passed since the plant will rebloom on the same spike for many years. A new flower bud forms behind each flower that drops. It’s not uncommon for this plant to remain in bud or bloom for many months. Bold red striped and spotted foliage adds to its charm. Be sure to allow the potting media to dry out between waterings. The roots are very sensitive to overwatering. We ship a blooming size plant not necessarily in spike.
Special note: This rare orchid has slight scarring on the backsides of the leaves. This is a normal part of the growth process and not related to any pest or disease. The front sides of the leaves have the beautiful red spotted and striped variegation. This will not affect flowering.

Sarah B. This is such a beautiful plant! The leaves are a showstopper and it looks so interesting even without a flower. Although I read up about this species before purchasing, I was still surprised (in a good way) by the leathery leaf texture - I have never felt that texture before.
This orchid is really easy to care for. I bottom water it for about 30 minutes, one time per week, and it sits near an east facing window grouped with other plants to combat the low humidity in Wyoming. Moving into winter, I may need to add a pebble tray, but so far, it is happy just with a few other plants around. I am so excited for the flower spike to appear.

Martin E I ordered this orchid and due to no fault of Logees, it came in damaged. It was a shipping problem. When I contacted Logees, they shipped me a new plant. It arrived in perfect condition. I have purchased many plants and they all arrived in healthy condition. Thank you Logees, for doing right by me!!
