Paph. callosum var. sublaeve

[Secundino]

:rollhappy:Usually I'm pretty patient, but after seeing the first shadow of the first bud in the first oft my sublaeve-seedlings, I'm rather excited:

Awesome, great growing. I can't wait to see the bloom.

 

[Secundino]

More than a shadow now!

standing by............

Cool. Is that straight sphagnum you're growing in?

 

[Secundino]

No. Its pumice 80% and some bark and palm fibres. The sphagnum on top is just to protect the 'stem' of the seedlings - they have a climbing habit until maturing. The internodes are about 1cm! As I didn't want to repot again - there is a first big and strong root growing since I last repotted - I just opped with living - dead already -Sphagnum.
