Stenoglottis tuberous roots.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Stenoglottis is not a terribly popular terrestrial orchid. It doesn't get talked about a lot. And I'll be honest, there was a point in time when I was recommended Stenoglottis, but was not thrilled at the recommendation. It wasn't until I got one that I appreciated these orchids.

I've posted about Stenoglottis before, but I've posted a photo of the flower to the hybrid Stenoglottis Bill Fogarty. I keep thinking I've done this, but I'm honestly not sure if I posted a pic of Stenoglottis woodii before. I think I've only posted a photo of the leaves for Stenoglottis woodii. Well, today, I'm posting what the dormant tuberous roots look like.

I knocked the potting media out, and I cleaned it up as best as I could without causing damage to the plant.

This is what I got.

The mass of tuberous roots measures out to be less than 2" (5 cm) across

Hope this was enlightening to anybody who may be interested in Stenoglottis.
