Better Gro Orchid
Default Better Gro Orchid

I bought one of the Better Gro bag orchids from Home Depot last week. I miss placed the tag so I'm hoping someone out there has recently purchased one also. I have a picture of the bag and I think I will recognize the name (hopefully). If you purchased one please let me know what the name is. Thanks.

You could go back to the store and copy another tag. Or look at the Better Gro website.

Is that a picture of the actual bag?

If that’s the actual bag, I think the variety is printed right above Cattleya on the bag. I bought a different Better Gro bagged orchid over the summer and the tag matched the bag.

The photo on the Better Gro bags are usually plants that are similar in appearance to the plant, not necessarily the exact same hybrid. They seem to be accurately tagged, however.

If you bought it recently, go back to that store, look to see what the tags say on plants with similar photos. Most of the plants, in that shipment, with that photo, will be the same plant. Use your phone to take a photo of the tag, then copy that info on to a new tag for your plant.

this vendor sends in tray of plants where there are multiple of each one on same tray. I look at several places where these plants are sold frequently and have seen that exact photo, I believe the plant tag is for a laelia (cattleya now) tenebrosa. I will check the plant I bought as I still have not moved it from the original plant pot and wiill post the label tomorrow...

Thanks for the replies everyone. That is the picture of the actual bag. The HD that I bought it from only had that one. I have checked 2 other HD and a Lowes so far, but no luck. I will keep checking or hopefully find the tag. I'm thinking it might have accidentally gone into the trash.

Well, the bag in the photo says "Yellow Orange Clusters". Doesn't sound like L. tenebrosa to me. Sounds more like something that has C. aurantiaca in its background. Describes a bunch of possible Catt hybrids.

yes the picture does not look anything like a tenebrosa, they probably have no other picture that matches or comes any closer to look like a tenebrosa. Sunbulb baggies pictures are a very rough guideline to the plant inside the bag. Sometimes even the plant label stuffed in the pot is way off. They do a massive volume of baggie plants and I guess mistakes do happen. I read the label and then examine the plant to see if it should be a bifoliate or unifoliate, look at plant size as well, some are in sheath and some are already blooming inside the bags.
