Monnierara Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft' FCC/AOS
One of the blackest orchids to date! Grow with plenty of heat, water and fertilizer during the spring and summer months. After or during the flowering season it is common for these plants to drop all of their leaves. Cut back water and fertilizer once the flowers have finished, then resume a normal watering schedule when new growth emerges.

This plant was awarded an FCC/AOS by the American Orchid Society. This is now simply the very best black orchid that exists!

Monnierara is an artificial genus produced by hybridizing Catasetum, Cycnoches and Mormodes, a three way cross. It has all the natural characteristics of all three genus.  

NOTE: This type of Catasetum drops its leaves in the Winter but can bloom on the bare bulb. After a dry winter, new growths will emerge from the base of the plant and produce keikies along the bulb. Start watering and fertilize it again when new growth is about 4–5 inches (Spring-Fall).
