    Prag. warszewiczianum var. wallsii

    I grew these back in the 90's and that was what it was sold as - I didn't know that it had been changed - thank you for the correction.

    Prag. warszewiczianum var. wallsii

    No I normally grow it under lights - the room I grow in is kind of like a sun room but I have additional grow lights for supplemental light. Also I have a cart in a spare bathroom with grow lights for cooler growers because with the door closed the central air keeps that room cold. Back in the...

    Prag. warszewiczianum var. wallsii

    thank you - I keep those curtains in my grow room because they are so thin they stop the harsh light from hitting the plants but at the same time let a lot in. However, I would be scared to even guess how old the curtains are because I have kept them for their sentimental value. They were my...

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    I am growing 2 Roths. one is just labeled Roth X sibling and I had gotten it probably about 5 years ago as a VERY small seedling (do not remember who I purchased it from tag doesn't have the grower on it) and knew that they were slow growing but did not know that they were THAT slow growing...

    Lycaste "Red Jewel" in bloom

    The bottom of the pot I have large lava rock for drainage. I have it planted in 1 part coconut husk 1 part extra large perlite and 1 part charcoal. Seems to like that mixture for me. However I did grow it in a clear plastic pot that it had badly over grown (growths were hanging at the edge)...

    Lycaste "Red Jewel" in bloom

    Thank you - I up-potted this into a clay pot. unfortunately, when the first couple of blooms opened it was so top heavy with the plastic pot, it tumbled over on to the floor and I lost several unopened buds (would have been a much better show if that had not happened :( - I have had this...

    Paphiopedilum Sanderianum

    in all the years I have been growing paphs. I had never put 2 and 2 together but since you said that I see it clear as day that 2 growths and one is always way faster than the other. (I couldn't see the trees for the forest) Thanks for pointing that out.

    Lycaste Support

    I have a question maybe one of you lycaste growers might be able to help with. I have lycaste 'red jewl' that I have had about 3 years now. It is growing wonderfully and has bloomed reliably since I had it. Always blooms right around Dec. or Jan. My question is every time it blooms it also...

    Lycaste hybrids

    I am no expert at growing lycaste but this is my Lycaste Red Jewel this is it's first bloom to open this season and it seems to always put out the first bloom several weeks before the rest. I grow this next to my grow cart so it gets morning light from the sun and the rest of the day it gets...

    question about cymbidium

    Thank y'all so much for the info. it makes it much clearer what to expect. I don't mind the wait I have purchased plants in the past knowing it would be years till blooming but when you think something is blooming size and it doesn't bloom than you don't know if its because it's too small or...
