Free to good home in US! - Orchid Board

Becca · #1 07-03-2011, 06:06 PM

Hi Everyone! I have a few to many orchids and I don't seem to have enough room for them all under my grow lights and I don't have enough time to adequately water them all. So I am offering several Dendrobiums free to good homes but I ask that you please pay for shipping. I can ship them potted or bareroot, your choice. Not sure how much shipping will be but I am sure I could at least get them in a larger sized flat rate box. I have pictures of the plants (no bloom picturs) if you would like to see them just let me know. Like I said I don't have time to give them the attention these poor babies need and they are not in the best of conditions....but some really aren't that bad. So if you love dendrobiums like I do, then this is a score for you! Here is my list with notes/details:

1. Den. Burana Crystal – three new growths – did not repot when acquired in October/November 2010
3. Den. NOID (received out of bloom so the color is a surprise) – Needs TLC…new growth developed rot and had to cut back, but new growth growing from other new growth. Repoted in 4 inch square pot when acquired
4. Den. NOID (received out of bloom so the color is a surprise) – No leaves but has an active eye about to start growing. Also has a basil keiki with roots and stem just starting to grow. Repotted in a 4 inch square pot when acquired in Oct/Nov 2010.
5. Den. Salaya Candy – in spike on newest growth, roots establishing well from newest growth Repotted in 4 inch pot when acquired in Oct./Nov. 2010.
6. Den. HI 306 White – new growth and roots establishing well. Did not repot when acquired in October/November 2010.
7. Den. Woo Leng ‘Short’ – did not repot when aqcuired, new growth with new roots just starting, has back bulb that needs removed due to it turning yellow brown from base and moving up.
8. Dendrobium kingianum – potted in 2-inch plastic pot, three growth keiki, roots well established.
9. Dendrobium Copper Queen. Small keiki division in a 2-inch plastic pot. Needs some TLC!

P.S.....hope it is ok with the Mods that I am not posting this in the Classified section....if it is a problem let me know please!

Also I forgot to mention that I am not sure if I can ship these this week, shipping would be via priority mail, due to me being un-orginized and I still need to find boxes and all that fun stuff. Sorry to be so un-orginized...it took me a month just to put them up on here as free...lol. Since Monday is a holiday I can see what I can find for boxes on Tuesday but would hate to ship via priority mail past Tuesday since priority mail is not guaranteed to be delivered by a certain time!

Thanks Gin! I plan on using the flat rate box as long as a one or two foot tall dendrobium will fit in them...I think the larger sized boxes generally run around $10.

Becca, if you still have available Den. Woo Leng ‘Short’ and Dendrobium Copper Queen, I'll take them

Thank you for your generous offer. I'll send you a PM now.

I am so glad the kingianum went right away. I have been trying to be good and that would have broken my will.

I have a small single keiki that is on the mother plant I could send to you....the shipping would be pretty dang cheap!

Becca, you are soooooo bad. I would love to have a kingianum!!!! If you are willing to go to the trouble, I would greatly appreciate it. What a sweetheart (and enabler) you are. Thank you.
