Ionopsis utricularioides

Product Details

Ionopsis utricularioides, the twig orchid, is a secret agent of the orchid world. Its plain little fan of leaves and wiry, twig-like spike look like nothing — until one morning it erupts into a cloud of dozens of lavender flowers with broad, lobed lips. These sell out at every show, and most visitors have never seen one before.

Native from Florida and the Caribbean through Central and South America, it grows as a twig epiphyte on branches, often above water, where humidity is high but roots dry fast. Grow bare-root on a mount or in a small basket, water daily, and keep it out of harsh direct sun. Fertilizer is optional.

Blooming size — photos are representative of the plant size and maturity available. Compact plants in 3–4" baskets or on plastic slabs.
