Anisa's Phal. intermedia

[Anisa]

Got it! Looks great. Will take pictures tomorrow.

I got my pictures. I noticed that it has red/brown lightish spot on one leaf close to the center. Is it something I should be worried about?

[Phalcycle]

Is that a basal keikie or two plants in one?

looks like a bit of sunburn if i'm seeing it right, but otherwise you needn't worry. nice looking plants!

hmm... i think it is devision (basal keikie) . It doesnt look like separate plant. I will have another look when i get home

Agreed, these look like mechanical damages, nothing to harm or spread on the plant.
no worries, just a little defect

What others are noticing is what I first noted as well - looks like two crowns growing on one set of roots. Eventually you will be able to make that TWO plants if you wish. Having deflasked some phals last summer I noted a number of baby flasklings just grew that way and it is easy to see why a grower would just leave them - it is almost like a BONUS to anyone who is not set on a particular aesthetic typical one crown arrangement. The red coloring indicates it was being pushed to its limit on light previously - overall looks like a very nice plant to start with.

Good news all around. I am glad the plant is not infected and i can live with mechanical damage. And i got potentially two plants I will to leave them together.
It does have some red coloring on its leaves, i am not talking about the spot. Perhaps it had too much sun at some point. Right now it is in a shady area but i am planing to move it to a "morning sun" spot in a few days. It is quarantined now.
How about Aerangis Biloba spots?? in earangis biloba section

When I waqs at Oak Hill, Liese mentioned that the intermedia's had gotten a bit too much sun, so that is what you are seeing. Shouldn't bother the growing at all.

Update - i lost the leaf that had spot on it. It got yellow/brown and fell off. But I have a new one!
As i got hit with pseudomonas or erwina bacterial infection. I cant get it undercontrol and my plants are dying one ofter another. I though i will take pic of my plants what is left over.

[Anisa]

August update. Poor thing wasnt doing anything much sitting next to aerangis so I put it outside and a week later i get a growth from a basal keiki!

[mayres]

Good for you! That looks promising. I've noticed that sometimes these species plants are prone to do that. Might eventually mean two crowns and then either two spikes (one from each) and/or an eventual division to two plants?

Looking good!

Sweet! Looks like things are moving along nicely
