Acronias used to be lumped in in a large genus of orchids called pleurothallids.  Recently, Dr. Luer has broken them out into this new genus, Acronia.  He says that these are the 'frog orchids' because the flowers lay on the leaves like frogs sitting on lilypads.  So, now's your chance to get a frog orchid for your frog tank!

While there are a few very large species of acronia, this is not one of them.  The entire plant is on the order of inches high, and the flowers are quite small.  Cute little cream flowers, but you have to look to find them.  I don't have a picture quite yet, hopefully soon.  The picture you see is of one of the very large ones, Acronia teagueii.

All of our plants are shipped bare-root to lower the shipping cost. Therefore, you will either need to plant your plants in your terrarium when they arrive or be prepared to pot them.  Plastic or Styrofoam cups with a hole in the bottom for drainage make great temporary pots.

Plants are shipped from the greenhouse and separate from all other items purchased. Plants are shipped Monday-Wednesday and Saturdays. Plant Orders must be received by 8:00 PM EST in order to ship the next shipping day. Plant shipments during extreme weather are only guaranteed when someone is present to receive the package on the first delivery attempt. All plant shipments will not ship if the low temperature dips below 20 degrees in Stockbridge, MI or the destination city.

Shipping is based on distance and weight of total order.  To get a shipping quote for your order, add the items to your cart and click on "shipping estimator" in your cart.  To get a shipping quote on just this item, click on "shipping estimator" below.

All plants are guaranteed to arrive healthy and true to name. This guarantee is void during extreme weather if someone is not present to accept the package on the first attempt. We can not guarantee long term survival of plants since we cannot control the customer's care and conditions. In order to ensure that plants arrive in the best condition possible, plants will not ship until temperatures are above 20 degrees in Stockbridge, MI and the destination city.
