Very nice group of healthy gigantifolium Yanik:drool:
Mine is makink strong new roots, I have folowed your advices, my pot on my heater with a lot of water

What do you mean lots of water? Is that related to the watering frequency? I currently water my giga every 3 days, do you think it is acceptable?

Well, I don't want to bother you with the "it depends..." answers, so under normal circumstances it is ok to water every third day.

Merry Christmas, please give a positive feedback for me to Santa.

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I believe that high air humidity and good air circulation is also important for giga, and other mutis of coz,

I was wondering who the Vendor was you purchased them from? If you care to say. It would mean only good things for them. They are awesome looking plants. Not that I could ever order from them or anything. Thanks USFW!

 

[NYEric]

You can see the vendor on the package, and check to see if they are still restricted.

Are they restricted only in America? I'm asking, because gigantifolium seem rather easy to get here in Europe.

Oh well I misunderstood your question. They come from Iweyshen. He's a member here at ST. Just curious: what does USFW mean?

I think the person meant US FWS: United States Fish & Wildlife Service. They regulate orchids under CITES in the US.

 

[Clark]

Really nice haul.

 

[Justin]

He has nice roths too.

Mr. Shen I-wei is an slipper orchid expert in Taiwan, he owns lots of outstanding clones. If your gigas are from him, congratulations!

:ninja:
No, but enforcement here is different than most places. Australia might be the only place worse!
