You will make it, best of luck

I thought I would share an update on these little guys.
It has been nearly two years since I last posted.
I sold or gave away two compots and kept two to myself. They have been slow but steady in their growth.
One of the two compots I'm showing here is the same one as the one shared above. Two smallest seedlings with yellowing leaves eventually just dried up and died, which was expected. There are total of ten seedilngs of various sizes and two smallest ones are under the shade of larger seedlings. I think they won't make it unless I repot and separate them out soon.
I have not yet repotted them since they were so slow to progress. Some of these do have quite a nice bunch of roots inside the pot.
The leaves are finally taking shape and looking nice with silver variegation showing more clearly than when they were younger.

Still expecting to spend about two three more years before seeing first bloom out of these. The other compot has even larger seedlings. Well, a handful of them at least!

I'll take it!

Looks to me like the larger seedlings need to be repotted soon or
untangling roots will be a nightmare. That will give the lil ones
more room and light and fresh medium in a new compot.

I'm getting so many seedlings now, so I think I might sell some off sooner or later. Stay tuned!

I'll take it!

Untangling roots have never been an issue with paphiopedilum seedlings.
It's more for things like oncidiums and dendrobiums and such that grow massive amount of roots.

A lot of my little plants do need repotting. Thinking about it gives me a heachache, though. lol

I'll take a couple.

If called 'Concobellatulum' I think we could get away with sending a few my way, too, without any trouble (i.e. CITES permit)!

Finally!!
Two of the largest seedlings of the bunch are in bloom with a couple others possibly in low sheath.
This compot is one of the smaller two in the very first photo on page 1 of this thread.

Wow, these are stunning!

 

[Ozpaph]

They are beautiful and worth the effort. That you grew them from such tiny plants is amazing!

 

[emydura]

Just stunning. Great growing in getting these to flower. Well worth your efforts.

 

[Tom499]

Outstanding! The colour and shape is perfect!

 

[GuRu]

Great to see the development from deflasking until first flowering.

 

[NYEric]

Nice. Weird that the leaves aren't typically album. ?? Did I get any from these?

 

[Guldal]

More gorgeous than gorgeous!

What become of the plan of distributing some of the plants to the hungry masses?! (As I stated before as Concobellatullum, they should reach these shores without too much hullaballoo!)

 

[Rockbend]

My babies done good!

I was not happy to have received such tiny seedlings but everything worked out in the end!

I don't think so.
Not to be confused with album. This is not an album variety.

Haha sorry but all these babies have been spoken for already.
