Orchid not in bloom.

Pot 2.0" 

 

The Fredclarkeara After Dark 'SVO Black Pearl' is arguably the darkest orchid hybrid, producing near-black 5-7cm flowers with an intoxicating cinnamon fragrance. This exceptional plant requires distinct seasonal care: during its summer growth period (25-32°C/77-90°F), it needs daily watering and weekly fertilizing, while in winter dormancy (15-18°C/59-64°F), it must be kept completely dry for 2-3 months after losing its leaves. Grow in shallow pots with extra-large bark to accommodate its extensive root system, providing bright light (4,000-6,000 lux) during active growth. The flowers emerge dramatically from the bare base in autumn before new growth appears, lasting 3-4 weeks with proper care. While challenging for beginners, its unparalleled black blooms make it a holy grail for collectors.

 

As always, it's essential to monitor your Fredclarkeara After Dark 'SVO Black Pearl' closely and adjust care as needed based on its specific requirements and growing conditions.
