Den delicatum on k lite

keithrs · Mar 5, 2013

Just wanted to share how my delicatums are doing on k lite. The show could be better but I get no direct sun after 10 am:wink: Over all, The new growth is 6" taller with more wider leaves. There not in bloom yet but I'll update when they do.

I'm showing last years on top(MSU @ 100 ppm N) leave size vs this years on bottom(k lite @ 30 ppm N)

Wow, :clap: !!!! Jean

Ozpaph · Mar 6, 2013

you're growing it very well.
Its got very green leaves.

keithrs · Mar 6, 2013

Ya, It gets about half the sun it should have. I have not fertilized it since Oct.(north) That also why its slow to bloom.

Very impressive! The k-lite growths look very healthy and noticeably bigger. It'll be nice to see the 4 spikes in bloom.

Did you count those blooms??:clap:

SlipperFan · Apr 15, 2013

O--M--G!!!
Take it to judging! I see a cultural award.

keithrs · Apr 16, 2013

The funny thing is that this in the smaller of the delicatums I have. The mother plant is twice the size but didn't bloom as well because it doesn't get as much sun. Next year it's on!

Rick- lol.... Ill invite you over next year to count them!

abax · Apr 16, 2013

A veritable blizzard of blooms...WOW!

JeanLux · Apr 16, 2013

Bravo !!!! Jean

Austalian Dendro's have conquered a place in my Orchidheart. Culture wise they are not that difficult and if you do it right you are rewarded with a sea of fragrant flowers.
