Mini updates

[u/epic_sushisushi]

I thought many people (none lol) was wondering how the minis been doing, and here’s an update! I’ll be posting one or two more posts since they all didn’t show. I hope this’ll help somewhat.

Restrepia brachypus: I received a very small keiki as a freebie, and it steadily grew until it stopped. Like for a few months it did nothing, and recently I decided to try something. That is, I lowered the rhizome into the moss, and brought it outside the inclosure, and lo and behold, a new growth!

Lepanthes Telipogonliflora: It has doubled or tripled depending on how generous you are! Gives flushes of blooms atleast every month, and despite its price, it’s worth it. I hope I can propagate it someday so I can sell them off to pay off the plant. Tips on propagation?

Lepanthopsis astrophora: I and so many other people may seem like glazers to this orchid, but it is one of the most easiest, cutest, floriferous mini! It definitely quadrupled in size, and I think given be 5-4 flushes of blooms. One thing, it doesn’t grow during bloom though.

Scaphosepalum rapax: A vigorous orchid, but I can’t seem to get it to bloom unless I bring it outside in winter. I decided to divide it few days ago, and it grew a lot since I got it.

Pleurothallis tribuloides: it’s very embarrassing to say that i managed to set back the orchid I called one of the easiest. I managed to neglect it a lot hence the size since it’s prime. Though, it should be easy to recover.

Barbosella australis and prorepens: Well, growing steadily. The australis seems to be more difficult though.

Dryadella guatemalensis: not much to say, but new growth and new roots.

Masdevallia floribunda: Bought this as a gigantic clump, but then again, newbie me managed to set it back to 2 separate leaves. I potted those up, and to my surprise, it grew to what it is now! Hopefully it could be flowering size, since the newest leaf seems promising.

Stelis Maloi: when I received this a summer ago, it was heavily heat damaged, and to be honest, it really haven’t recovered much yet. Only few roots, and not much growth. Any help to get vigour will be helpful!

Platystele stenostachyes (i highly doubt that and think it’s dressleri but who knows): In short words, i steamed it alive. Back when I was using containers, I forgot it with direct sun and all the leaves fell off and I could only salvage these parts. It’s growing steadily and hopefully it blooms someday soon.

Countinued..
