My favorite slippertalk thread in a long time!

At this stage are you fertilizing the little guy and if so with what and at what strength?

 

[Berthold]

After potting into pine bark the ******* is in progress, only 5 more years to blooming.

Lol! Well on it's way to 0.0001 miles then. It'll be in bloom before you know it. ;P

Why such a big pot for such a little plant?

Why such a big pot for such a little plant?

I am not sure to find time for repotting again in 6 month

and

In a larger pot it is easier to keep the moisture of the substrate constant.
It is a clay pot in which water evaporates through the wall.

In nature, the plants have a much larger pot.

I bought two plants of micranthum. When they flowered years later, they turned out to be two *******s like this.

A seven year old '*******' story! Love the updates and seeing the progression from pod to NBS.

Now we can understand why sometimes it costs a bit for the blooming size plants as it take this long to get here. Then to select ones with good flowers will wean others out even more.

Here's to your '*******' Fumi's Delight adventure!

So nice to see the progress of 'the li'll one'! Hope he is behaving better than your average, unruly teenager?!

Cogent observation!

Sorry, I wanted to say it is not a Laelia rupicola living in little rock holes in Brazil.
