Nun Orchid Live Starter Plant – Phaius tankervilleae with Pink Brown Tropical Blooms

Nun Orchid (Phaius tankervilleae) is a tropical terrestrial orchid known for its distinctive pink and brown flowers and lush, strap-like foliage. This unusual ornamental plant thrives in shaded garden settings, tropical landscapes, and large containers, providing seasonal interest with its exotic blooms.

Unlike many orchids that grow attached to trees, Nun Orchid grows in soil as a terrestrial species. Its attractive foliage and striking flowers make it a popular choice for shade gardens and collectors seeking unique flowering plants.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements. Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review, including photos of the shipping box, shipping label, clear photos of the plant from multiple angles, and scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant.
