GRAMATHOPHYLLUM SPECIOSUM - Tiger Orchid - Care & Repot -

The sugar cane or Tiger orchid, Grammathophyllum speciosum in its natural habitat and how I care and repot it in the short time it's been in my collection
It's the largest orchid in the world. in their natural habitat live as epiphytes attached to trees, like durian trees and rubber trees.
They are often chopped and burned because they are considered weeds that disturb plants. Even though this orchid has its own charm and so many people want to have it.

I have a massive gram speciosum in the back of my grandmas yard in a 150 gallon pot in palos verdes here in ca recently inherited

[@scottgordon1781]

Interesting , thanks . I would have just kept the root ball, seems ok as.Later on , not quite .
Got 2 bulbs from Malaysia and 8 seedlings from Vietnam .

[@joshromero2718]

Just as big as some of these

[@ahlai-nj5ru]

I think the pot is too small...could be double the size

[@TOEKIEWORLDMarc]

possibly but it was an import and needed to keep my eye on it. most likely it will be repotted soon.

Oh wow, what an impressive cutting!!! The adult plants are tremendous 😮😮

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Great repotting video, thanks for sharing. Grammythophylums are one of my wish list plants, though take up a lot of space but if I get a large orchid room I would love to try them. Did you say they have fragrance too? That is great! Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😊

[@TOEKIEWORLDMarc]

Thanks, and yes, part of the flowers are fragrant.

[@TheOrchidHut]

Fascinating! Thanks for all of the detailed speciosum info. I never realized how large these were in the wild. This makes me want to research the 3 species orchids my plant originated from.

[@TOEKIEWORLDMarc]

Thanks, the speciosum is really the biggest of them all but the only one I could finally find here after a loooong search. In the US they are more common and hybridized, mainly by Hawaiian nurseries.

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

That is a very nice plant, It looks beautiful in the Glazing pot excellent video

[@TOEKIEWORLDMarc]

Hope it'll pick up and certainly doesn't get tooooo huge in time.

[@MattbyNature]

Now that is an interesting one! Just saw it at Schwerter...

[@TOEKIEWORLDMarc]

I don't buy those crappy plants from schwerter any more.
Note that the canes can grow up to 3 meters long! so it needs a bit of space.
