FREE: Baby 3PB Prosthechea Pentotis (Baculus)

[johnndc]

It broke off of the main plant recently, doesn't have any real roots to speak of, but does already have a little nub of a new root. With the right care, I suspect this should grow fine. I got the main plant from Oak Hill Gardens a few years ago, and it's finally reaching maturity. A very nice healthy plant, just feel bad throwing this little nub away - and I have way too many plants to be keeping seedlings of duplicates. This guy looks not unlike a Prosthechea (aka Encyclia) cochleata. Also, he's reported to have a very pungent smell, which is why I got him - mine hasn't bloomed yet. Oh, this plants loves semi-hydro and really sucks up the water, just fyi.

So here's the deal. He's free. But, I'm just going to wrap him in some newspaper and throw him in a small envelope. I'll pay postage So if you're interested (US only), only posting this here on this forum. Let me know by private message or post, whichever is time stamped first gets it



There's a nice pic of Pentotis here

I love this species. I'd take you up on it, but I have one, also from Oak Hill. Someone will get a deal!
