Sedirea japonica – Nagoran

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 1 customer rating
(1 customer review)

$29.99

Sedirea japonica or Nagoran (“Orchid of Nago”) is native to Asia and very popular in Japan, in particular.  The genus is now widely accepted to be Phalaenopsis, but let’s keep it simple, shall we?  Most of us have enough Phals in our lives.  Before becoming Sedirea, these plants were categorized as Aerides which proves that these orchids really get around.  There are cultivars of this species that vary in size including standard, minmaru, and seigyokumaru (generally considered to be a very small minmaru).  There is also a yellow-blooming cultivar, Kibana Soshin, that really isn’t that yellow but it really is easy to kill.  So say I.  All the others are very easy as long as you don’t overwater (see below).

The Sedirea japonica on offer here are standard size with no variegation.  They produce spikes of very fragrant white flowers with purple bars in the spring.  These plants are blooming size and come potted.

Orchid Care

Sedireas can be treated as Phals for the most part, but please be careful not to overwater.  Sedireas are highly susceptible to rot compared to many other orchids.  They are traditionally potted in sphagnum in Japan, often mounded like fukiran; however, many northern growers will find moss stays too wet too long if you are not careful.  (Note:  this is because most people overpack their moss.)  Chronic overwaterers would do well to grow this plant bareroot, mounted, or in a basket.  I have had great success with all forms of potting as long as I am sure that those plants potted in moss will dry out in 3 days or less.

Because they are from the southern parts of Asia, I grow them intermediate to warm, but orchidspecies.com says they grow cool, as well.  I choose to be on the safe side and stick to the warmer temps.  Intermediate to low light is great.

    I’m really surprised they’re not more reviews on this website. I ordered this plant and received it really quickly. I didn’t even know it was shipped and it was sent by postal mail. It’s a really healthy plant with a really good root system. I couldn’t ask for more. I’ve paid more and gotten much less. I even received it like the other one I ordered potted in fresh Sphagnam moss. I won’t need to repot it for a year!! Thanks again for making sure I had a healthy plant to care for! …And the gift.
