BARE-ROOT ORCHID

BARE-ROOT ORCHID 裸根

According to the CFIA import requirements, all imported orchids must be "Bare Rooted. "This means they must be unpotted from the original growing medium, cleaned, sterilized, and exported from the original country. Sometimes it allows the orchid's roots to be wrapped with loosed moss to keep them moist. However, it still considers bare-root as the orchids will need to readapt to the new environment once upon arrival.

根據CFIA進口要求，全部進口植物都需要 “裸根”進口。意思是植物在出口地需要脫盆，清洗和消毒。有的時候允許有疏鬆的水苔包住根系來保濕。但是任然認為是裸根。裸根植物到達後都需要重新適應環境。

Bare-root conditions are very common for the newly imported orchid. They need a “rest time” to help them readapt to the new environment. Therefore, require growers with some experience.

裸根進口在植物進口中非常普遍。他們需要緩苗來適應新環境。所以需要蘭友有一些經驗。

Bellows are some examples bare-root orchids. Please examine the conditions before purchase any bare-root orchid.

下面是一些裸根蘭花的例子。購買任何裸根植物前請認真檢查圖片裡的狀態。

I will use BR (Bare roots) Scale to describe.

BR-1: Good live roots and good leaves 根好葉好
BR-2: Some live roots and some good leaves 根還可以葉還可以
BR-3: Few live roots and may need to regrow roots 少根需要從新髮根
BR-4: No live roots and may need to regrow all the roots 無根需要從新髮根
BR-5: No live roots and need a recovery 無根需要特殊緩苗

Cattleya: BR-4 卡特蘭基本上都是幹根，沒有一條好的根系。都需要重新髮根。

Phragmipedium BR-2-BR3 美洲兜蘭根系一般，有一些活根，基本上都會有黃葉。

Oncidium: BR-4 &BR-3 文心蘭，發貨會減去大部分根系方便清理。有一部分好根，不過也需要重新髮根。

Paphiopedilum BR-2 亞洲兜蘭，大部分根系不錯。株型小的植物和小苗有發現根系不是很多。

Dendrobium: BR-4 石斛蘭，根全是幹的，幾乎沒有好根。需要從新髮根。有觀察到有葉子枯黃，並且掉葉子。

Cymbidium Hybride:BR-4

Phalaenopsis: BR-1-BR-2 蝴蝶蘭，根葉都不錯。

Chinese Cymbidium:BR-1

Neofinetia (Vanda) falcata: BR-1

This goes for any clowesia or catasetum relative. Despite what the website shows for bare root plants and what to expect, what you actually get is heavily dependent on when you order. These plants break dormancy in the spring and will put out root during this time. THIS IS THE TIME THEY GROW THE MAJORITY OF THEIR ROOTS, damage/loss of these roots will greatly set back the ability of your plant to grow. If you order in the spring, they will be in an active state of growth which is a very bad time to ship. If you want to order, I highly recommend doing this in late summer or fall when the plant is entering or is in dormancy. If you reach out, they will repeatedly tell you that the plants are fine and they are healthy, but if you do any amount of research you'll know that is not the case. It will take a lot of time for them to recover and they will grow roots again if you're diligent and patient. Refer to the link below to see what real experts in the field have to say about the plants I received.

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Your insights are incredibly helpful, and based on your suggestions, we are planning to order this type of orchid in the fall next year. Although we did place our orders a month earlier than last year, certain aspects of new growth are still beyond our control.

We currently have stock from last year, and despite the challenges associated with growing these orchids, they have been performing well—some even bloomed. We recommend taking your time to observe their growth before drawing conclusions, especially if you are first time growing udner such conditoin. Additionally, thorough 'amount of research' is advisable before purchasing these orchids in the spring, to set realistic expectations regarding the new growth.

In addition, as you may know, the orchids in our Cycd, Ctsm, Cyc, Clo, and Cl collections are rare finds in Canada. Our preorder sales offer collectors an excellent opportunity to acquire them at a better deal. With proper care, you should have no issues growing them, and they are likely to thrive and improve year after year.

Phal MF38- Orange C. 香橙C

Great seller, great info and healthy orchid.

Very pleased

Could have been much better

Purchased a phal. that arrived in bad shape (roots mostly rotten - yellow leaves + 1 broken leaf). Customer service answer: I do not know about orchids, that's how bare rooted plants arrive. Having quite large collection and having purchased plants for years, I will avoid that store in the future.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I noticed the photo you posted in our shop review earlier concerning the orchid you received. It appears there has been a misunderstanding in your review about the condition of the orchid and our store policy. We aim to ensure all our orchids are delivered as described, and it's unclear why there would be issues such as 'roots mostly rotten, yellow leaves, + 1 broken leaf,' as we inspect each orchid carefully before dispatch. Additionally, I am concerned about your report regarding our customer service response, as our team is trained in orchid care and committed to providing accurate information.

We highly value open communication and encourage our customers to reach out directly with any issues before leaving a review. This approach allows us to address your concerns promptly and resolve your issue more efficiently.
