Stanhopa oculata
Stanhopea oculata, également connue sous le nom d'orchidée œil-de-bœuf, est une orchidée épiphyte de taille moyenne, originaire des forêts humides d'Amérique centrale et du Sud, notamment du Mexique, de la Colombie et du Brésil. Elle est réputée pour ses fleurs pendantes et parfumées, souvent tachetées de motifs distinctifs.
Origine : Cette espèce pousse naturellement sur les arbres dans les forêts humides ou sur des falaises rocheuses à des altitudes comprises entre 1 000 et 3 000 mètres.
Croissance : Stanhopea oculata développe des pseudobulbes (tiges épaissies à la base de chaque pousse) qui servent de réserve d'eau et de nutriments. Chaque pseudobulbe porte une grande feuille elliptique, vert foncé et coriace, mesurant jusqu'à 45 cm de long et 14 cm de large.
Fleurs : Les hampes florales pendantes émergent de la base de la plante en été ou en automne, portant des fleurs cireuses de couleur jaune pâle, crème ou blanche, souvent tachetées de marron. Les fleurs sont connues pour leur parfum envoûtant.
Lumière : Préfère une lumière indirecte modérée à vive. Une exposition à la lumière tamisée est idéale pour favoriser une croissance saine et une floraison optimale.
Arrosage : Nécessite un arrosage régulier pour maintenir le substrat légèrement humide. Il est essentiel d'éviter l'excès d'eau pour prévenir la pourriture des racines.
Substrat : Un mélange bien drainant est recommandé, tel qu'un substrat pour orchidées épiphytes composé d'écorce de pin, de sphaigne et de perlite. La plantation dans un panier suspendu est idéale pour permettre aux hampes florales pendantes de se développer librement.
Toxicité : Aucune information spécifique n'est disponible concernant la toxicité de Stanhopea oculata.

Carriers:
We take great pride in the quality of our products and place particular importance on the shipping methods used and the speed of service. That’s why we work exclusively with reputable carriers offering affordable rates and real-time tracking of your package until its final destination. Once the order leaves our greenhouses, the carrier takes full responsibility for your package. We are not responsible for any risks associated with shipping. Please contact the carrier directly for any issues.
You must be present at the time of delivery, as we require a signature upon receipt. It is your responsibility to email us before delivery to notify us of your absence. If you prefer a delivery without a signature, please inform us when placing your order. However, you assume full responsibility in case of theft or weather-related damage.
We offer the option to choose your preferred carrier at checkout. We will do our best to ship your package via the selected company. However, in some cases, to ensure timely delivery, we may need to use another carrier. If you absolutely wish to keep your initial choice, please inform us when placing your order. Additional shipping fees may apply in such cases.
Shipping Costs:
Shipping costs are determined based on the exact weight of your package, rather than a fixed rate. This ensures that you pay the exact cost of your order. We work with multiple delivery companies, allowing us to offer you the best price as well as the fastest and most efficient shipping option.
Order Preparation:
A confirmation receipt will be sent to you once your purchase is confirmed. We only ship across Canada from Monday to Wednesday to prevent packages from sitting in postal offices over the weekend. Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive a tracking number and an estimated delivery date. This tracking number allows you to check your order status in real-time until its final destination. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive a confirmation email. We do not provide delivery time estimates due to the high volume of orders we prepare.
Order Cancellation:
Want to cancel an order? We can issue a refund only if the order has not yet been processed and/or shipped. A $10 fee may apply in such cases.
Combining Orders:
We offer the option to combine multiple orders placed on our online store, as long as your order has not yet been processed. Only orders shipped to the same address and under the same name can be combined.
Winter Shipping:
During winter months, insulating packaging and heating packs are included in the shipping fees. In case of extreme cold, we reserve the right to suspend deliveries until temperatures are suitable for shipping.

Local Delivery:
We offer direct delivery from our greenhouses to your door throughout the Greater Montreal area, with cold-protected shipping. We do our best to deliver your order the same day or the next day. However, we do not deliver on weekends, and additional delays may apply for more distant regions, such as the South Shore. Hand-delivered on the same day, but your presence is required. We will call you to arrange the best day and time. Fees vary by zone, and an additional $10 fee may apply for large orders.
