Starting over...

[Wendy]

I helped John with his sales table at the RBG show yesterday. The show has gotten a bit smaller but it's still very nice. I picked up a couple new ones, plus John gifted me a beautiful MK for helping him. Thanks John!

Some cracking plants you have there Wendy. Hope the spring weather,if it ever comes, will show a lot of growth in your massive stock.

An updated photo of my growing area. I've gotten rid of a few non-Paphs recently so most of the bottom shelf is open for more. :clap: I'm taking my time though....want to be very fussy and only get what I really want.

 

[John M]

Looks really good, Wendy! Nice collection! Awesome supardii!

 

[Marco]

Nice they look like happy plants

 

[adiaphane]

Looks awesome,

 

[Paphman910]

Beautiful collection! How big is the randsii?

 

[Wendy]

Here is a photo of both randsii. Both are in a 4" pot and both are working on new growth. The bigger one looks like it may be thinking of putting up a sheath. The base of the growth has fattened up considerably lately.

 

[Marco]

Those randsii look really good. I hope one does put up a sheath for you.

I am out of space as far as my tiny grow area goes. I have one more left on my short list. That one might be on my short list for a while. I probably should update my inventory.

 

[John M]

Wow, you've put on a lot of great new foliage since you got them! They're quickly outgrowing those old, damaged leaves. Excellent job of bringing them back into great health!

 

[Gilda]

Looks great Wendy !!! Will there be a grow room in your future or do you have will power now and will keep your collection to that shelf oke:

Nope....no grow room. We do have space to make one in the basement but I have no desire to have such a large collection now. Add to that the OUTRAGEOUS cost of electricity in Ontario.....no way are we paying that over and above our current ridiculous bill.

 

[phraggy]

Congratulations Wendy that's a great show of multis looking wonderfully grown.

Ed

 

[Justin]

Sweet! Great growing

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

Glad to see you are getting back into things Wendy You were a big inspiration to me when I first started growing!
I hear you on the electricity costs! I have my collection growing under t8's and I think I am going to have to switch to off-peak lighting at the very least.

 

[adiaphane]

How much light are the multis getting? I grow mine back from the window and in the summer the sun is too high it doesn't come in, which makes me wonder if I should supplement the lighting.

 

[Wendy]

Our front window is 12' wide, floor to ceiling. It's south facing so I have the plants about 4' back from the window. We also have a large overhang on our eaves (bungalow) so they don't get any direct sun during high summer, but it is still very bright. During spring, fall and winter they get a few (4-6) hours of direct sun as it's so low in the sky. So far everything blooms just fine and no need to supplement. I could always push the tables closer to the windows if needed but so far, so good.

 

[adiaphane]

Thanks, Wendy! That was super helpful. I get really bright light, just not much direct light during the summer. It's wonderful getting to see other grow areas.
