[biothanasis]

These are some of the plants I purchased this month! Some others will follow "soon" (I guess!).

1. Vanda blue (gift from seller)
2. Rhynchostylis gigantea red
3. Chiloschista parishii x lunifera
4. Trichoglottis triflora
5&6. Angraecum calceolus

Any tips for the Angraecum?? TYIA

2 lovely angraecums you got there!! Spikes? I give mine good light but no direct sun! Jean

 

[biothanasis]

Yes! Each one has 2-3 spikes! But no buds yet!! Jean, do they need lots of humidity???! And what about temps? TY

 

[JeanLux]

I do not own Angraecum (or Aeranthes) calceolus, so not too sure about its special needs, but as far as http://www.orchids.mu/Species/Angraecum/Angraecum_calceolus.htm and other google sites suggest: shady and humid !? What size are your Angr. plants? they look very large( compared to the others) Jean

Good stuff! I like chilochistas and there are some that have chocolate fragrant flowers! I'm too embarrased to show all the plants I've bought this month!

 

[biothanasis]

Height is about 20cm and the biggest leaves are 13-14cm!

Eric this is the second Chiloschista I get! I hope to see blooms soon...

Gimme the Chiloschista! Sounds like a great hybrid.

More babies...

I recently purchased a Cypripedium calceolus and two Epipactis gigantea from ebay! The Cyp arrived a couple of weeks ago, which I potted and the Ep today... See pictures!

The question is what shouldI do with the Cyp that is starting to grow now and how should I also treat the Epis?? Just pot them and whatever happens?? Please enlight me... TY
