O.K. guys and girls, never did phargs. before. I friend gave me two little pieces of unknown phrags. He bought someones collection. They had little roots and the ones that were there were dried up. I put them both in one small clay pot as I assumed neither would live. I put them into sphagnum moss that was packed in tightly. I did not put the pot into a dish of water but put them under the vandas that get sprayed everyday. I also water them quite often. The plants did indeed live as I see white root tips near the top of the pot. Curiosity got the better of me so I pulled them out to look. Both have a couple of roots that are half way down into the pot and then they headed back up. So, what am I doing right and what am I doing wrong?
My second question has to do with the first phrag I ever purchased at a show. It was in flower when purchase and stayed in flower for 4 to 6 weeks since I bought it. Since being home, I put it into a tray of water in the living room and water once a week. Each of the two spikes have gained and lost a flower or two. This morning it looks like the last flower has fallen off as I don't see another bud. I put it into the greenhouse with a tray of water under it. The spikes are still green, should they be cut now or wait and see if the produce more flowers in the spring? It is a kovockii cross, and I can see two or three new growth started.
I'm all ears boys, and girls, or should I say men and women. Thanks for any and all advise.
Sorry about that, this should be listed under culture not photos. Please move.
