Hey guys, Bought a flask of micranthum var. eburneum 'Red Panda' x 'Red Fox' from Sam a while ago and these are the survivors. This compot has literally been sitting neglected in the back of my growspace for months now, so they are very well hardened off lol. Obviously these are micranthum...

Hello! Well, I've completely run out of space in my windowsill orchid area and need to move some plants. These will be shipped bareroot, as the media they are potted in is quite broken down and it will significantly reduce the shipping costs. I really want to sell these as a group, not...

Hello! So, on a whim, I crossed my two eburneums and it's looking like the cross took. I pollinated the flower on Feb. 1st and the pod has been swelling nicely since. So, as I've never done any crosses, I have a few questions on what to do next. First, when should I harvest the pod, should I...

Hey guys! So I've been getting back into slippers over the past few months but these two just don't fit in with my plans going forward. I'm going to be focusing on the Parvi species, the slippers that first got me into orchids, so these two can go. I'll say up front, these two need some TLC...

One of the nicer besseae I've had in my collection. This one reliably blooms about every 6 months as the new fans mature. It was previously kept pretty warm so the flowers were fairly dull, putting in with my cool growing orchids and carnivorous plants seems to have done the trick! I would have...

Hi guys! Just thought I'd share some pics of my collection! I got rid of most of my slippers last year, I do still have a few here and there but I've mostly focused on tropical pitcher plants (Nepenthes) and cool growing pleurothallid orchids. This grow tent is set up to achieve night...

Hey guys! I know it's not a slipper, but I've had little to no luck finding this plant other than the 4 Ecuagenera clones that surface from time to time (and even out if those, I've been unable to find the 'pink' clone). I've seen many pictures of amazing color forms (bicolor, yellow, white...

Hello, I've been extremely busy for the last few months and it's been getting harder and harder to properly care for my slipper collection so I've made the decision to get rid of them. I really hate to see plants get neglected and I'd feel really bad if they end up dying because I don't have...

Okay, I purchased this from eBay a while back and it decided to put out a spike for me, which is nice but I'm beginning to doubt the tag is correct. I'd think pearcei x wallisii (or whatever wallisii is currently called) would be very light in color with green, white and pink flowers which was...

I picked this caudatum up a while back at a very reasonable price due to some pretty bad mite damage on the leaves but it managed to put out this spike for me which I'm very happy about! I'll update when the blooms open.

Hey guys, So I got a Phrag. wallisii about a week ago from an online seller which looked great when it arrived, no signs of disease, two new growths, spike developing and it looked to be recently repotted. I normally repot all new arrivals but I figured since it was in spike and it looked to be...

Hello! Figured I'd start a thread where I can post updates about my small but growing collection. I grow all my plants under 4' T8 fluorescent fixtures, 4 bulbs per shelf about 7" away from the plants and so far it's working great. The shelf I grow on is enclosed in opaque drop cloth plastic on...

Hey guys! Just wanted to share this since it finally opened after slowly growing for about a month. The inflorescence was 26" tall when fully open, beating last years flower by almost 2 inches. Though amazing, I definitely don't recommend this plant for anyone with a weak stomach because it...

Hello! I was just curious if anyone has ever used MaxSea 16-16-16 seaweed fertilizer on their orchids. I had these laying around and figured I'd see if they were any use for orchids, if not they work good on tomatoes! lol

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum but not the hobby! I got my first paph when I was 8 years old and have had the orchid bug ever since. I've grown basically every commonly kept orchid species but paphs and phrags are far and away my favorites. I lost my entire collection to an unknown pest several...
