Well I’m glad to hear you recovered!! My step dad died from it a few months back. I grow everything in that west window with direct sun, even phalaenopsis like my schilleriana, and Celebensis. All my Bulbophyllum’s went crazy after putting them there too. All my paphs do great with those light...

English is a Germanic language

It’s in a west window, where it receives bright shade most the day, and depending on the time of year, 2-4 hrs of direct sun in the afternoon. I’m sure it’s a lack of nutrients. This past year has been hectic and I haven’t had the time to properly care for my collection as I usually do. I will...

I’m very curious to see how yours turns out!

It’s definitely something I’ve never seen and a sight to behold for sure!! Interesting observation on the flower patterns and number of points on the stars! I didn’t notice that! Good eye!

Hi there! That’s very interesting! Thank you. All the species of Hoya I have only smell at night, except for my Hoya lacunosa. As far as excess nutrients, I’ve been lazy with the Hoyas this year, as it’s been a hectic year for sure! That being said, I’ve only fertilized them once this year in...

There’s quite a lot actually. They are the exact color of the media. Lol they’re a dark root for a paph

Yes it is pretty cool regardless. I’m excited about it for sure!

Well here it is. First bloom for me. A little deformed, but that’s ok. I’m just glad I was able to bloom it!! I bought it as a small seedling, a year and a half ago and it’s been very vigorous for me.

I use 12-16 mess silica in a lot of my mixes. They do really well.

I had this as a bloom last year from my malipoense! No petals! Lol it’s in spike again right now, so we will have to see if this years bloom does the same or not.

Very interesting, odd, ugly, and super cool, all at the same time! Haha

That’s one of the best examples of the species I’ve seen. Very well done!

I agree. Very important.

I’ve seen Sangii bloom on spikes as short as yours, so don’t base the time on the spike length. And yes, I repotted it a few months ago, before it started spiking.

Awesome!! I have a Sangii from paph paradise as well and mines in spike too!! I bought it as a seedling from them a year and a half ago.

This is a first time bloomer for me. Question for anyone that grow hoya’s. Have you ever seen a peduncle growing off of another peduncle?? I’ve never seen this, and I have many species that bloom prolifically.

What is that seedling mix comprised of? I found Bulbophyllum’s need constant moisture, and I don’t just mean wet bark... I’m not speaking for everyone, but for me, Bulbophyllum’s will NOT do well at all unless in straight Sphagnum or a terrestrial type mix. The mix I made that the Bulbophyllum’s...

Here’s my lasiochilum. I grow all of my orchids in my home, in a west window. They all get bright shade all day, and depending on the the time of year, get 2-4 hrs of direct sun in the afternoon. I have a cold humidifier and try to keep the humidity about 50 at night and 60-65 during the day...

My lasiochilum is a damn weed! I cut that thing back all the time and it won’t stop! Lol
