BLOOMIFY Mounted Miniature Orchid - Haraella retrocalla - Wrapped with Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss - 3" Mount

I've been wanting an orchid, but couldn't justify the cost. I saw this cute little plant on sale and I couldn't resist. It was shipped promptly and I received it in prefect condition, like it didn't travel here through the mail. It is tiny, but that is what I was expecting. I remounted to a sheet of cork bark and it looks happy so far (fingers crossed). I can't wait to see the flowers (also - fingers crossed). If I don't kill this plant I will definitely buy another orchid from this seller.

This orchid arrived to me very healthy looking and I am excited caring for it. When I took it out of the packaging, there was an immediate whif of strong fruity fragrant that lasted for days. I know I won't be able to keep it always moist on the platform wood it came with so I decided to plant it on a pot (inner pot with holes and decorative outer pot for easy draining during watering) with fresh orchid potting mix and sphagnum moss. It's been on the third week and so far it's looking healthy and alive. Love this miniature orchid! ❤️

I have always had great success with orchids. This one though, is impossible. The first one tanked within a week and they replaced it with a second. It tanked also. I guess it's just a very temperamental orchid. I would like a replacement but not that one. A person has to be alright with their limitations. I have raised many different species of orchids but this one has stumped me. No amount of coddling helped. I hope this comment helps. Great company , your service was excellent. The Dendrobium cucumnerium is thriving and beautiful.

Came in great condition with a large heat pack.

I read about the little guy and tried to keep him moist enough while not overdoing it. It was near impossible for me to find a good ratio and he ended up drying to death partially and then drowning. This is technically my first time trying to care for a mini orchid so maybe not for a beginner. Other than that, it arrived carefully packaged and in perfect condition. Super cute! I only wish he'd survived.

I wouldn’t suggest anyone buy an orchid mounted on a wood square unless you already plan on remounting it as soon as it’s received. I figured it was only mounted like this just prior to shipping for the purpose of transport. $12 is a good price for that. I only mention it since other reviews seemed surprised it didn’t live long mounted as it came. But I definitely wasn’t expecting the amount of root and stem rot they had. Seems too extensive to have happened just during shipping. Looks like three or four keiki were just thrown onto the board and piled with excessive spagnum hoping someone would buy it before it died. There’s no way an orchid grower wouldn’t know these aren’t going to make it as is, and I think it’s kind of bad business that they don’t let buyers know that.

Another edit: ordered again and this time got two little healthy orchids. They are happy and doing well in their terrarium, even growing new roots! Edit: the seller contacted me and issued a full refund so I'm increasing the rating to 4 for great customer service. I might give them another chance. If I do so and the delivery goes well, I'll update the review again. The orchid is tiny, smaller than what I saw in the pictures posted in other reviews, which is not an issue for me, because I was anyway planning on placing it in a terrarium. The state in which the orchid arrived was awful, as you can see in the picture. It is mostly rotten, with the top leaves falling off and visible mold (and is that spider web?) on the plant.

This was interesting and I wanted to see how it would be to grow and care for. The execution was ok but nothing spectacular. It was a small bowl shaped bit of sphagnum moss that was attached to a bit of wooden board by a small wrapper of clear plastic wrap. The orchid was placed nicely in the moss. There was nothing on the board to attach it to anything so I used a few staples and light string to create a hanger for it. It was difficult to water. I tried to keep it near a humidifier and that wasn't enough. I tried keeping the moss moist with a spray bottle of water and it did ok, but dripped quite a bit. It was a fine plant for awhile. Now it is gone. I don't blame the plant or the seller. I suppose I never figured out the care properly in my environment. It was inexpensive so that was a bonus over some of the locally available items. I might choose it again.
