Habenaria radiata ( Egret Orchid )
I've packed a total of 9 bulbs - 6 double ( to triple ) the size of the other 3 - into 3 small plastic sauce containers and nested in sphagnum moss. The containers are the size they came in and the 3 smallest bulbs are about the size of the original 3 I purchased.
Into the vegetable drawer of the fridge, all stacked in a zip loc baggie.
I can't imagine them surviving for 4 + months. I'll update this thread monthly. I sterilised everything but who knows what lurks in that veggie bin.
My habenaria medusae and lindleyana are still growing strong. However when these go dormant I sphag and bag and leave at room temperature in a brown lunch bag. Far less hassle and worry.
Interestingly - the bulbs are as hard as marbles.
