Depending on the breeding line and individual plants' traits, I think yours can bloom at the current size. I bought mine when the largest leaf was 4-5inches long in bloom and there were even smaller plants in bloom in the same box I picked mine from! You can use pretty much just about any mix...

How small are your seedlings? They can be very slow growing while small. I once had a couple of seedlings from (rather not share) and they were very slow growing. The breeder told me about that, so I was aware of it ahead of time. These newer line bred ones are not very slow and they start to...

Yeah, I like the leaves a lot!

Well, yes and no. These were all from 3in round plastic pot from SVO. They are all in the sphagnum moss with Styrofoam peanuts at the bottom from the "farm". After about one year (sometimes two years, I know, I hate repotting lol), I take the plants out of the pot and just slide them into a...

Nothing wrong with the leaves. Just some green algae on some of the leaves. I don't know what you are worried about. I thought I was going to see half head looking plants with black fungal spots and yellowing leaves galore. Multiple growths plants like those shown in the photos at that price...

It's mostly orchiata with some inorganic stuff mixed in. The plant was taken out of its 3in round plastic pot (contains some sphagnum moss that it grew in) earlier last year and put into a larger pot that it's in now with old moss and root ball.

I don’t stop watering my Catasetum type plants. When the pot contents dry out, they are watered. However, I do increase the watering intervals when the plants have no leaves left for obvious reason.

Here’s a sneak peak of Clowesia Grace Dunn getting ready to bloom soon!

I bought this in bloom at the Dresden show in March last year. It is in bloom again slightly early. I usually get Phalaenopsis flowers evenly on the same plane so that it’s easy to take photos from one angle and still get most flowers facing the same direction. Oh, well, not this time. This...

These yellow flowered hybrids have Phalaenopsis emboinensis in them where the yellow color comes from. I don’t think there are not a whole lot of registered yellow ones but they pretty much all look very much the same. So I don’t think you could identify exactly what cross this is.

More the merrier :D

I wish I had taken a photo of the plant to make it easier to help ID it. So I saw this plant bearing pale green flowers looking almost like primulinum except it was not yellow. What's interesting to me was that the leaves had quite a few white dots. So the mottling on the plant was not as...

The one on the right was facing away from the camera but I forced it so it would look at the camera. 😁

Black is boring 😁 I like how yours turned out. Green flowers with dark spots. Is it a pretty big plant? I understand that lucis gets quite large and throw a giant upright spike bearing lots of flowers. and any scent?

Yellow flowers look the best against the dark background so here’s an evening shot of the twins! 😍

Thank you! Cycnoches hybrid that was posted here is in bloom again but not gonna post it again. It just has more flowers but looks the same as it did in October. A keeper! :) Cycnoches warscewiczii and Clowesia Grace Dunn as well as a couple of out of sync Catasetum are going to be in bloom very...

Now that I live in a cooler climate, I am suddenly interested in Masdevallia. I've always liked the intense red one and white one of coccinea, and yours is just as lovely. Fragrance is always a big plus! :)

Yeah, it's not the end of the world. At least there are no major crease or anything on the petals. Or a big dent on the side of the pouch. 😁

Other than the dorsal, I'm quite happy with this one! :)
