New spkies and growths


P. Magic Kiss
I am really excite about this one respiking because the spike was broken when I bought and I really didn't get to enjoy the flowers. They are beautiful and peloric!


P. Long Pride Snow Crane
Yay! This one is respiking too!

These will be my first rebloom of Phal. The only rebloom I have had so far was for the Ludiscia discolor.


Ludiscia Discolor
This baby is growing faster now than it ever has the whole time I have had it (almost four years now). The leaves usually open one at a time but this picture shows the new leaf not even finished opening yet with another already growing inside. This is awesome! Using better light,air flow, humidity, and superthrive has helped a lot!



Stima. Kelly 'Lea'
This plant has 4 new growths total so far. The newest one I can't get a picture of very well because it is the middle of all the leaves. The first picture show the second youngest growth and the second picture shows the two older growths that will hopefully throw up a spike soon!


sedieria japonica
This is the first new root growth I have had in the two months I have had it. There is a new root nub on another root that just started to grow too. Also the two newst leaves are still growing.


Regal Bells x Brother Fortune Gleen
This thing has a beautiful new root growing that is growing so fast! This is over about two or three weeks.


Brother Sarah Gold
This thing almost died a while back. I call it my comeback Phal. It now has a new root growing (not in picture), and two new leaves growing! Yay maybe it will flower ina few years again!

And that is is for now. The Restrepia I have hasn't done much of anything at all. The temps may be too high? I am probably going to repot it in new sphag. But then I think it's Vivi that had one mounted. There's an idea! I don't want to hinder it by repotting or stress it or anything though. The sphag is looking kinda like it is staying too moist on the top so I wonder what the inside looks like. I also don't want to break off any roots.
