your knocked around flask I would probably pot right away. that's the advice I've heard from flask people since the media will choke out the air to the leaves etc.

it's cool that you can get that osmoglossum to grow and flower in your office! guess it's pretty happy...

dude, you've got so many plants that if you decide to student judge at the cnyos show next october, you could easily have your own display oke:

glad to see that my packing job was so photogenic!

Whoa... That Osmoglossum is just crazy... I thought it was Psychopsis until I saw the branching spikes.. Good luck with Les' aussie natives..

 

[NYEric]

I'm potting up the aussies tonight, it'll be a long one. Corybas in sphagnum, right?

 

[hchan]

I see your buying spree continues unabated, good to see How is your growing space coming along? Still doing that lighting experiment?

 

[NYEric]

1/2 of the terrestrials are potted up. Of course I ran out of pots! After SEPOS and a trip to Montreal I should be bought out! The xenon lights were installed and I'm seeing if the phrag seedlings in there are improving. I'm still going to try to get Jump-Start light set on the cheap to put over my paphs.

Where is this tiny spike coming from??? Eric, do you have a pic of the whole plant? Nice aussie arrivals...

 

[paphioboy]

I think Les pots his Corybas in clayey soil, not sphagnum... Well, for this one particular species anyway: corybas diemenicus..

 

[NYEric]

Thanx for the info. I made a mix of sandy topsoil, shredded sphag, chicken grit, (you have no idea how much sayiing that cracks me up! ), and potting soil.

Where is this tiny spike coming from??? Eric, do you have a pic of the whole plant? Nice aussie arrivals...

Which spike?

 

[cnycharles]

I actually put all my plants in the same soil. Les does list on the plant list that corybas do prefer at least 5mm of covering over the top of the soil

 

[biothanasis]

this small one....LOL!!!!oke: It is a spike with 3-4 blooms isn't it?

 

[NYEric]

Pterosylis curta from last year's Asuka Orchid purchase (In bark) and diuris from Australia. growing about 1/3" per day!!!

The Montreal society is preparing an import of Australian Terrestrial Orchids. I'll probably pitch in for at least a Thelymitra.

 

[NYEric]

Try to get a easy flowering blue one. On the orchidmall.com site there is a link to a Thelymitra site, very wild flowers!

 

[cnycharles]

those plants in the middle of the picture are your pterostylis?! mine is just a tiny rosette of leaves... hmmmm

 

[NYEric]

Yep. They're much bigger below the surface!! Kind of like me! :evil:

 

[JeanLux]

[biothanasis]
