Paph. sanderianum spike!

[theshatterings]

This sandie is growing next to the Paph. stonei that recently flowered on the office ledge, found a spike forming today!

How long does it usually take to from this stage to the first bloom unfurling?

Experienced growers of this species, any other tips?

fingers crossed!

Good luck. Maybe I need to send a few plants to your office!

Takes about a month. Water it a ton

Sometime this week hopefully!

I propped this up a foot or so so the petals can cascade over the side table it is sitting on.

I do the same in anticipation of great things!

They are so much larger than I imagined! Petals are still growing, around 21 inches so far.

Lovely. Where'd you get this from?

We keep our fingers crossed for the further development!

Kind regards, Jens

Thanks all! I purchased this from carter and holmes couple of years ago.

Will see how long the petals can go in this heat wave.

Very nice! I also have one that I got from Carter and Holmes a few years back. No flowers yet though. Still only one growth on mine, had a bit of a rough start, but it is growing well now. You are such a lucky duck! I hope mine looks as good when it finally decides to bloom. Well done!
