WoW......just received 3 great compots from Marilyn of Windy Hill Gardens in the mail....LOL I was gonna ask if y'all thought I should repot them...but right after taking this pic I knocked one of them over and spilled it out :sob: so for sure that one is getting repotted....think I should plant the others up individually?

No! Leave em so they get awards as 'superplants'!

Todd,
What did you do hit the Lottery???? You have bought alot of plants/seedlings in the last few weeks!!!
If it were me, I would want to change the potting media & thin them out into mini compots (3-5seedlings) with about the same size seedlings together.

LOL I wish I had won the lottery....course then I would have to buy a house and greenhouse if that were the case....cause I would be buying tons of orchids.....the compots from Marilyn were $25 apiece....each is suppose to have at least 10 plants in it....the one I knocked over has 13 in it...crap thats unlucky.....guess I will have to throw one in the trash ROFL

Todd

p.s. LOL unless something really tempts me in the near future I am done purchasing for awhile......I have a Phal compot and a Paph Delenatii x Macabre compot coming that I won E-bay and those are the last for awhile

The Purple V X Cherry C needs some attention. I see a least one plantlet too high in the pot. The root zone (base of the leaves) is above the mix and I can see the start of a root tip emerging out. This "elongated seedling phenomon" is common with paphs that have not been out of the flask long.

You didn't really win it on eBay you bought it! oke:

 

[Renegayde]

LOL what does that mean?

I bought some of these same plants from Marilyn in June. My B-Day present to myself. I purchased single seedlings. I'm excited to see my Addicted Phillip cross bloom but it will be awhile though. Her seedlings are so healthy looking when they arrive. She put in a P.(Susan Booth 'WH' AM/AOS X victoria-mariae 'WH') as my freebie for ordering so many. Funny...it's the only one that's trying to be finicky for me, but I think it's starting to adjust to my culture.((fingers crossed)) Good growing with all of yours!!!!!!

 

[Renegayde]

LOL she must have lots of the Susan Booth x Victoria-Mariae.....that was my freebie as well

I would repot/thin them out. All it takes is one watering where the plants aren't drying out, especially in the middle of the pot & instant fungal problem!

rdhed, that sounds like an interesting cross.. Be aware that vic-mariae is not an easy species to keep alive or flower.. Hope the hybrid does better though...

I would individually pot any seedlings large enough and keep the rest in a compot!
