Gastrochilus japonicus

[PHRAG]

For a one growth miniature, these really put on a show. I think I counted ten blooms on one spike, and seven on the other. The blooms are about the size of a pencil eraser.

Sweet. One of my very favorite non-slippers.

They look like they have little cupped lips.

Are you sure they're not really slippersoke:

Love the yellow. Thanks John.

 

[Park Bear]

lovely flowers!!

 

[Marco]

I want one. John know of anywhere that sells these little guys potted? Most of the places I've searched only has them mounted.

 

[PHRAG]

Marco, I think when I bought some of these from Oak Hill, they came in a pot. But my memory is hazy about that. You can always buy a mounted plant and convert it to pot culture. Just repot it when you get it. I have done that. It's not much different than switching from bark mix to s/h.

Another QT.

 

[Gideon]

Very nice, great photo too

 

[Marco]

Found it at oakhill just now. Thanks John

But I have another question. What kind of light you give em?

 

[PHRAG]

I give mine in between 1000, and 2000 footcandles. Closer to 1000. More than phal light, less than paph. : )

That was helpful, wasn't it?

 

[Marco]

Very helpful! thanks John

Like Phrag, I unmounted a few of my plants from Andy's, and they are doing great. I also have mounted a few of my plants and they are doing good.
