Is my Michael Koopowitz in sheath?

[My Green Pets]

Look how red the stem is! Ooh I hope that color comes through in the flowers!

 

[SlipperFan]

That looks great!

Kentucky is too far for me to drive, lucky for you!

 

[My Green Pets]

How many could it be??

 

[troy]

Sweet 4 buds!!! Make sure the plant doesn't dry out too much and don't keep it soaked, and don't expose to high heat or cold, the last bud looks like it could be affected, keep it humid around the plant

 

[Fabrice]

I see 5 buds but maybe the last one won't progress.

 

[My Green Pets]

Look at that bent neck!

 

[troy]

Are you keeping the humidity up around the plant? Keep the light source directly above the plant, I would also lower the light intensity, that will cause the inflourescence to grow taller

 

[My Green Pets]

It's in a southeast window, it's been cloudy but will be sunny later this week, humidity is around 55-60%, temps 18-20 degrees C.

The buds look weird, like they're already flopping open instead of being sealed shut.

 

[troy]

You need to keep the humidity higher, keep it out of direct light

 

[NYEric]

Hurry up!

 

[Justin]

It is fine. Give it humidity and water heavily...

 

[SlipperKing]

Listen to experience, it looks normal. I've bloomed a number of these and this is normal. Like Justin says a good amount of water to allow the petals to grow. Troy is going overboard on his recommendations.

Ditto. It looks just fine. You're doing well. I keep checking this thread to follow your progress. :clap::clap::clap:

Shiny pouch showing through and red ribbons visible! Watering daily right now--sunny days with clear skies

 

[Justin]

woot woot! can't wait to see more.

 

[Linus_Cello]

Would love to see your growing area. Sunroom?

 

[My Green Pets]

Hi Linus, you are right; here it is! We call it 'the happy room'.

 

[SlipperFan]

Beautiful room! Made for orchids!
