This sandie is growing next to the Paph. stonei that recently flowered on the office ledge, found a spike forming today!
How long does it usually take to from this stage to the first bloom unfurling?
Experienced growers of this species, any other tips?
Haven't posted in a while. Here's a first bloom stonei that I've been growing in an office ledge with a 20W LED supplemental light. The spike kinda snuck up on me a month ago and now here it is!
Thanks all! The appendiculata also exaggerates and spreads the lips a bit.
Angela, this came mounted and I took it off the mount because I can't really grow stuff mounted here. It's probably not as happy now..
Thanks, all! I think I finally understand the obsession over this species which has such a long history. There's much to be appreciated that's difficult to quantify.
Thanks, all! : ) I'm pleased that this is able to flower here.
It seems there's so much variation with seed grown 'Amami Island' cultivars (this is one of these), but this one does stay compact, which I like a lot. Glad you think it's nice, thanks!
It's nice to have something that is fragrant at night! I'm really glad I got this regular Amami island Neo to try out. I kept it outside for a month during our 'winter' here and that worked to induce spiking : )
