Shipping Info

Free shipping on orders of $150+ within the US, including pre-orders. Orders under $150 are calculated at checkout based on size, quantity and destination.

When will it ship?
Live plants ship on Mondays and Tuesdays only, so they never sit in a carrier facility over the weekend. Supplies and pottery ship within 5–7 days; if they’re in the same order as a plant, everything ships together on Monday or Tuesday.

Cold-weather shipping
We only ship live plants when temperatures are 40°F or above. Below 50°F we include a free 72-hour heat pack and ship to arrive within 1–3 days; addresses that need more than 3 days in transit require an expedited upgrade. In the coldest months plant shipments may pause until it warms up.

Product Details

Chiloschista viridiflava is a leafless Thai ghost orchid with fresh yellow-green flowers and a fragrance often compared to vanilla or chocolate. With no leaves at all, its flattened roots photosynthesize and power the plant through each flowering cycle.

Like its Southeast Asian relatives, it's an intermediate to warm grower (58–90°F) that appreciates humidity but must dry between waterings. Mount it on well-aerated slats in bright, filtered light and water or mist daily in warm weather.

Blooming size — photos are representative of the plant size and maturity available. Well-grown plants with abundant roots; many are in spike now. A conversation piece for windowsills and small spaces.
