A: BB Orchids currently offers over 340 Dendrobium varieties, including 142 blooming-size options and 202 seedling varieties. Our catalog is regularly updated with new proprietary hybrids developed in our tissue culture lab.
Q: What is the best way to export Dendrobium orchids from Thailand?
A: The standard Thai export process for Dendrobium orchid shipments involves four key steps:
- Phytosanitary certificate issued by the Thai Department of Agriculture
- Export permit and documentation
- Bare root preparation and air freight shipping
- Customs paperwork coordinated with the buyer's import requirements
BB Orchids handles steps 1–3 in full and supports buyers with step 4. Clients provide their consignee and import permit details.
Q: How are Dendrobium orchids packed for shipping?
A: Seedlings are shipped bare root in cartons holding approximately 800–1,000 plants. Blooming and flowering-size plants ship in larger cartons, fitting around 100 potted plants or 180–200 bare-root mature plants. All packaging is designed to protect roots and foliage during air freight transit.
Q: Can I order both seedlings and flowering plants?
A: Yes. BB Orchids supplies Dendrobium plants at every growth stage - flask plantlets, seedlings, blooming size, and flowering size. You can mix different stages and varieties within a single order. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and receive a quote.
Q: How long do Dendrobium orchid flowers last?
A: Individual Dendrobium flowers typically last six to eight weeks. With proper care, mature plants can produce multiple flower sprays and bloom several times per year, making them a high-value product for retail and floral businesses.
Q: What is the difference between seedlings and blooming-size Dendrobium plants?
A: Seedlings are young plants grown in 1-inch pots, typically 5–10 cm tall, and require additional growing time before they flower. Blooming-size plants are mature orchids in 3.5-inch pots that are ready to produce flowers when environmental conditions are right. Seedlings are the more cost-effective option for nurseries growing plants, while blooming-size plants suit buyers who need retail-ready or event-ready stock.
