| Hello all, I have been reading up on orchids and finally decided to get started in the hobby, since I am a avid gardener I felt this would be a natural step. Now to business. My Future wife and her mother were at an orchid show yesturday and decided to purchase a small inexpensive plant for me to get started on, however its not in any of my books. The information given with the plan is as follows: Name: Stanfieldara Variety: Orange Stardust Cross between: Soph. Coccinea & Epi. Red Dancers Bloom dates: 4 of 2004, 4 of 2005, and 4 2006 (3 healthy blooms still present) Repot: 10 of 2005 The general state of the plant looks good, the blooms look pretty good only slightly wilted. My only concern is that part of the plant has some light yellowish spots on the leaves (barely visible to the eye) and the person the plant came from said that this section may be ill and need to be removed or separated and replanted in another pot (a bit of an undertaking for a newbie). Also there are a great deal of exposed roots and even some growing over the edge of the pot. Please let me know what care special care needs to be taken and what if anything special I need to do with this variety. I already know that the plant needs good indirect sunlight. Please fill this thread with all the knowledge I may possibly ever want. Look forward to reading your posts UcDal |
