Great to hear some of your Cyps are up! Looking forward to seeing your Pubescens in bloom. I lost one of my Pubescens seedlings thanks to a slug, it wasn’t strong enough to produce a new eye afterward. But all my Kentuckiense are up and the rest of my Pubescens. But I do pot culture right now...

Very nice! Yeah I plan to share my experience with my seedlings from last year and as they progress this year with the new format. I purchased a few near blooming plants from hill side nursery this spring and looking forward to recieving them in a few weeks. I wasn’t paying attention last...

I hope this works to post the picture. The entire year of the seedlings are on my page as well. https://flic.kr/p/2a2GFKE https://flic.kr/p/2bGeatU

I have about 10, 2year seedlings of Pubescens and Kentuckiense that I have potted up and have gone dormant. Pubescens about 4 weeks ago and Kentuckiense just this week with a few outside still green! My question is should I bag and put the entire pot into my beer fridge or should I remove...

Welcome Hah, I agree! I started with a paph noid as well. Greetings from South East Missouri.

How are your Cyps doing with all this heat and heavy rain?

At what point does the cypripedium produce it’s next year rhizome? My 3 year old decided he wanted to become a Gardner too! :noangel: And needless to say he damaged some of my seedlings and they are starting die back. Maybe next year?! Others are going strong!

Thanks for all the help, I ended up modifying the way I originally was going to pot everything up. I actually rec’d my seedlings about 2 1/2 weeks ago, Thank you Spangle Creek! I potted them up and then buried the pots in the ground with about an inch from the soil line then surrounded with...

How is your Cypr. Frosch Sabine coming along?

Gorgeous plants, how long have you been growing?

Hope it keeps popping for you. We nearly got 4in in Cape as well. My seedlings from Spangle Creek are scheduled to arrive today.

Gorgeous plant JPMC, in your spare bedroom do you do anything to increase the humidity or have a variance in Day/night temps? Or just whatever the rest of the house is? I have some Pubescens and Kentuckiense coming sometime this next week and I’m planning to keep half indoors and half...

Would 300-500fc be with just one or two of those LED lights? Would two be way to much?

Recently found a cheap LED shop light to increase the amount of light my current set up and seedling cyps will get. I found a 42W, 5000k, 4,200 lumen LED shop light for $25. Would this be to much light at 12” above my plants? Or should I have even have 2 sets of shop lights? I can increase...

I must have been reading the app backwards. You are correct i’m getting about 450fc off a single T8 40w bulb. And 350 with the LED. I’m at about 8 cents a kWh, so I see what your saying. Where is the costs savings with the extra costs of the LED. I’ll just find something cheap at one of the...

Thanks everyone, I will definitely keep you posted on the Cyps. I think I’ll split the lot 3 outside 3 insider. Now the question will be where to place them outside.

First post minus initial greeting so I apologize if it’s a little long and I ramble a bit. I have 6 seedlings a piece of Kentuckiense and Pubescens coming in a few weeks from Spangle Creek labs. I plan to grow 3 seedlings of each indoors under lights and the other 3 outside in pots in the...

Good afternoon, and happy almost Easter! :) I’ve spent the last few weeks trolling around on here for information. Which I have to say thank you to all the knowledgeable and more experienced folks out there for sharing. I’ve been a casual grower of orchids and African violets since...
