Psychopsis Kalihi - kramerianum x papilio

[Carper]

This plant has gone really well for me and has thrown out 3 further growths and a nother spike making it 6 spikes in total. There are buds developing which could make a total of 13 flowers if I could get them out at the same time!

Yes -- I'd like mine to bloom all at once -- when there is a show!

Wow! I have a seedling Psychopsis Mariposa. I hope it grows up to be as spectacular as yours!

Wow.. That thing must grow like a weed... How long have you had it? any culture tips? Psychopsis grows slowly for me, even in the tropics..

At least they are always making blooms! Thanx for sharing and good luck on 13 blooms. If it does, definitely take it to judging.

I've had it a couple of years but I think the plant is well established. Even though its growing well, I feel the medium, which is CHC, is possibly too wet. I want to repot it in a more free draining medium as I want to water and feed more often than once every 7-10 days or so, but I know they can sulk for while so a bit undecided. Some of the new bulbs that have formed are already starting to shrivel slightly hance my thoughts on repotting. I do get a few buds that turn yellow and blast but don't know why so any thoughts would be great.
