New Humble beginnings

[SFLguy]

Nice! Is the new growth on the Akai Ryu still as dark as the older leaves on that window?

fantastic! told ya New World had some good stuff!

Yup can't go wrong with them. Dr. Lehr was always awesome to order from. I'm glad Kristen is carrying the torch

There are two new growths. Unfortunately, I think their growth process slowed a tad because they are still trying to get used to me. Also three of the older growths are blackening . I think they will be ok though

I'm glad to see postings on Neofinetia on a Slipper forum! Your narrative and pictures are also entertaining. Thank you!

I'm on a slipper orchid forum and I don't have one slipper yet. Go figure. I'm trying to be highly selective with my plants now. However, there are a couple of paphs i am entertaining but that will be later on when all of our moving boxes are empty.

SFL - Thanks for sharing those photos. That plant looks great. Mine on the other hand i believe just started to get used to me. The two new growths finally started growing again and its been drinking water like crazy. However they are not fully red yet? All of my plants (neos phals and all) are sitting in an east facing window. It been cloudy some days. I'm wondering if the VT needs more light? or is it still in the getting used to process? or a combo of both?

I do like the all green one in the third to last photo. But i had lunch with my better half yesterday and she kicked my ass all over the place and realty on my windowsills at this point have a waiting list.

Probably a combination of both, I'm guessing that you don't have space outdoors for it? Just give it the most sun possible and it will be happy

Go rangers!

We have to see on the paph. I literally have no more room on the trays there are two large neos coming in. Plus Maria knows you and she may unleash the wrath next time she sees you again. oke:

We should catch up over dinner or something. I work in the city now just north of grand central terminal.
