Phrag. Raspberries N' Cream

[abax]

(Pink Panther 'Pink Diamond' x Barbara LeAnn 'New
Generation') from Orchids Limited. Might anyone else have
this cross? The cross seems to be a reluctant grower and
the new growth tends to develop brown tips. The color of
the leaves is good and it has well-developed roots, so I'm
not quite sure why it seems to be problematic. Any ideas?

Do you have any photos of your growing area?

 

[SlipperFan]

How is your water pH, Angela?

 

[abax]

I've got photos somewhere, but I've listed my growing
conditions in my greenhouse probably more than anyone
wants to hear it. The ph of my water is neutral to very, very
slightly acid as is the rainwater I normally use. All my
other Phrags. are doing wonderfully well. I just wondered if anyone else had this particular cross and any
problems the cross presents.

If it's just the tips, are they near lights or a heat source? If not, try cutting down on the fertilizer.

 

[abax]

I'll try cutting the fertilizer back a bit (K-Lite once a week
at 1/4 tsp). It's not near the LEDs or a heat source, but
I might try moving it for experimental purposes. Thank
you, dearie.

Maybe it needs a shopping trip to NYC.

 

[abax]

Only if you'll squire me around!

 

[NYEric]

Just use Fedex, I was going to squire the plant!

 

[abax]

Humph! The plant and I are a couple. I used to live in
Manhattan and haven't been back in ages. Your GF and
you are a couple and my plant and I are a couple. I wasn't
trying to date you, you big male ego! ;>)

 

[NYEric]

I never would assume that. If you ever want to visit you are welcome.

 

[abax]

Thank you. I hope you know I'm teasing you. Sometimes
I get the smart mouth syndrome and just cain't hep it.
You get the SMS too on occasions, I've noticed. :>0

angela, we all know you were completely safe! Eric has a completely one-track mind (get the orchid, get the orchid!). So there never would be any chance of romantic allusion unless somehow it would mean closer access to the plant!
