Long blooming Pinnochio

[Berrak]

Constanly blooming since Dec 2002. Only replanted once.
Standing in a north window where an heta pump is blowing warm air now and then. Seems happy. Shooting new growths often and a new spike now and then.

Will replant later this spring.

Fantastic

 

[swamprad]

What an awesome plant!

Those spikes are vines!!

This has got to be one of the longest blooming hybrids out there.

Your particular clone seems to have a bit more glaucophylum influence to it.:clap::clap:

that's one of the coolest looking specimens I've seen in a while.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

 

[SlipperFan]

That is quite a plant!

Must be a world record. Everything you do and give must have been absolutely perfect for the past 5 years heading for the completion of the sixth. Very, very nice.

 

[JeanLux]

with this plant you convince me that Pinnochio, too, is worth being grown!! Thanks a lot; and very nice pict. Jean

Well done. My album one is struggling, what media are you growing it in and how moist do you grow it, please?

 

[Berrak]

Thanks all

Eric I grow it as most paphs in a mixture of:

Approxiamate figures.

Medium bark 30% /dried coarse spaghnum 30%/pelite 10 %/coconut fibres 20%/diatomite 10%.

I water it spring to autumn about every 4-6 day and in winter every 8-10 day. I would say as moist as most other paphs. Not constanly wet and it never dries out.

I feed it only with high nitrogen fertilizer and ads Mg and Ca

 

[NYEric]

If I substitute coconut chips for fibers I can do that mix, hmmmmmm.. Now I just have to stop overwatering. Thanx.

Your plant might be up for a CCM award (by AOS) I don't recall ever seeing cochlopetalum with that many flowers on it.

magnificent; straight out of Jurassic Park. It looks like a plant from the past or maybe the future. Bernhard

Just awsome!!!!!!! Congrats...:clap::clap::clap:

 

[Mrs. Paph]

Holy Cow, nice growing!

This is a showy fine specimen - no doubt !!!!
The curious thing seems to me - it flowers over a extraordinary long term grows simultaneously new growths and gets even bigger and stronger - that's really exceptionally to most other Paphs that get weakened by flowering.
