Medinilla cummingii - Malaysian Orchid

Love Medinilla blooms.

Me too.

My largest plant bloomed in late summer of 2022 and I planted seed in late Spring of 2023. For the first time in over 20 years of trying to germinate this plant I got about 100 seedlings. They’re a year and half years old now. I need to separate them all and figure what to do with them. Most likely I’ll sell them.

Wow! 100. That's wonderful. I'm sure there will be many people who'd love to purchase a seedling. If I were closer, I'd be putting my hand up! ✋

I’m going to post a pic soon. I’ve been wanting to post a pic for quite a while. They’re all growing like grass in two plastic strawberry containers (here where strawberries are sold). I’m only guessing there’s 100 total, but there could even be more…or possibly less.

If you lived here, I would give you some. I’ve seen how well you take care of your plants.

Over here people would go crazy at the thought of 100 seedlings. Medinillas are prized plants in tropical gardens and they are expensive to buy.

It’s an expensive plant here, too. But, online you can sometimes get a good price.
