Mario features some of his orchid collections called Pleione, a genus of predominantly terrestial miniature orchids but sometimes epiphytic or lithophytic comprising about 20 species. Sometimes they are called ground orchids because they can be planted on the ground with a good compost soil mixture with bark and or perlite. He provides the cultural requirement for taking care of the plant including mulching to protect from cold snaps. They can be fertilized with organic matter or manures, and commercial orchid fertilizers such as the slow release Osmocote. They can also be planted in containers or pots to be used as a design element.
