We have an 8,000 sq. ft. high tech greenhouse operation solely dedicated to the production of the a.titanum. We hold the United States record (2009) and the world record (2010) for flowering the largest a.titanum, over 9 feet and over 10 feet, respectively. We have flowered 76 a.titanums in the past four years. We have about 500 tubers in various stages of growth right now. The weight of the tubers range from 1 pound to over 350 pounds. We believe we hold the world record for the largest/heaviest tuber. They are pretty easy to grow. The four basic secrets are: heat, around 85 degrees during the day, no lower than 65 degrees at night; high humidity with the soil damp at all times; moderate filtered light; and grow in the largest pot you can buy. Some of our pots are 5 feet wide. We use regular potting soil. Lightly fertilize. They are insect and disease free. They also love to grow in extra coarse vermiculite. All our seeds come from our plants that we hand pollinate. Pollen is frozen until the next a.titanum flowers. All tubers, seeds and seedling production is done in the United States (New Hampshire). We do not import any plant material. Our regards, Frank at Tindara Orchid Supplies.
