Great picture. I grew one from seed one year, but sent it to Texas with my brother in law. It has bloomed for him after three years.

I was given a dwarf orchid tree, from Fla. I live in zone 8 border line on zone 9. East Texas. I would like to know care/ fertilizers and how to grow in container.....since I will have to protect from frost....Can I take cuttings? Layer?. I had one of these trees in Friendswood , Tex. about 20 years ago and lost it due to lack of knowledge of its care. ..Would likek to keep this one healthy...........bjsis2342@jas.net.
