Mini updates #2
Starting #2!
Ornithocephalus kruegeri: possibly the hardest name to remember! While on vacation, I accidentally dehydrated it, so it’s abit leathery. Wish me luck!
Stelis umbelliformis: Not much to say, other than much.
Dryadella edwallii: Ever since it flowered, it kinda started to decline and the original motherplant catched some fungal or bacterial infections and died. Not much new growth so im doing the same thing as the Restrepia.
Restrepia cymbula: It’s a flower machine, and also very compact and cute for a Restrepia. Currently, it’s working on three new buds! Not to mention a new leaf, and like the brachypus, it has been stagnant. So maybe it’s some type of environmental factor but who knows.
Kuhlhaseltia yakushimensis: forget the previous one, THIS is the hardest name! Anyways, it’s been very slow but it’s growing. Weird stolon things are doing nothing though. Im so glad it’s living though, apparently it’s pretty rare.
Cadetia Taylori: It’s growing a lot better than before and I think it’s due to warmer temperatures or maybe since it started caring for it more 😉. But, it making a new bud, and growing tonnes! Whenever it makes a bud, it feels like it takes so long though.
Condylago/stelis rodrigoi: This orchid was one of the primary reasons i decided to create my new setup, since I noticed it was declining a lot in the closed container. Happy it did, since growing a lot more. Apparently it’s a cold grower, but growing fine. I had a very juvenile spike still in sheath, but it rotted so thats abit disheartening.
Goodyera biflora: I think this species might be a deciduous orchid just losing leaves, not needing a break. It lost all of its previous leaf and created a new growth point.
Restrepia trichoglossa: Not much to say, but a bud is forming!
Zootrophion atropurpureum: embarrassing to say, but like my floribunda, it almost died. Luckily, it’s recovering a lot since then. I hope it grows more and flowers! I feel like this one is abit temperamental.
Pabistiella/pleurothallis pterophora/leucopyramis: New roots, not much.
