Tuberolabium (Saccolabium) / odoratissimum
 
Anyone grow this miniature? I just purchased it and would like some further tips on care/cultivation. I read some stuff online, and it doesn't seem to be too high maintenance. Thanks!

I don't grow this species.

I have Tuberolabium kotoense. I've also grown Tuberolabium woodii.

They're not terribly difficult plants.

Low to moderate light. Regular watering with a slight dry out. Intermediate to warm. Moderate to high humidity.

Slow growing.

Potted or mounted culture is not a problem. Either method is not especially difficult.

Thanks King. Where'd you get yours? Glad to know they aren't delicate prima donnas like most of my plants. Giggle.

thanks!

I got my Tuberolabium kotoense at Norman's Orchids. But they're offered at Oak Hill Gardens for much less.

Tuberolabium kotoense is about the same size as a normal sized Neofinetia falcata in height. The leaves are between 3 to 5 inches long.

thanks. i didn't see them but I'll check out both places. I'm attracted to the scent and the fact they're miniatures, to be honest. :)

Just ordered mine from andys. What's your care? Planning on putting mine in my terrarium.

Terrarium not needed.

Intermediate to warm (55 F - 95 F).

Moderately bright indirect light.

Moderate to high humidity (60% - 90%).

Can grow potted or mounted. If you're busy, and have tons of other orchids, I recommend growing potted with large grade bark.

Allow to dry out between waterings.

They are moderately slow growing.

Flowers are fragrant.

Moderately easy growing.

I no longer have this plant. I don't think it got enough light. I used to grow it in bright shade. I think it could've used the moderately bright indirect light better. I haven't gotten around to a second attempt yet. Maybe some day I'll try another one.
