Nicely shaped bloom, probably better than most! The dorsal is held quite high.

Yes, definitely time for a repot. I was hopping to do it after it flowered but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.

From what I have seen, They clump up pretty good. I have had mine for two years that was a division and it has grown pretty fast with good light and little fertilizer in R/O water. To much fert. burns the tips of the leaves, In my experience. I think if I put in a bigger pot it should get to be a big plant. which wont take up that much room because there a compact plant.

Is it? What size pot is it?

...... It looks like it's time to repot!

looks just fine to me, it's my understanding it's better to underpot these guys & even mound up the media, like a neo Tom! :wink:

Hi Rose
It is in a 5 inch pot. From the top of the pot, it is 9 inches high not counting the flower spikes. The hole plant is 15 inches wide with about 20 growths. I was thinking of going with a wider pot to accommodate more growths because its growing out all the way around the pot and use more packing peanuts in the bottom of the pot. Will see how it goes.

Sweet! Fantastic growth too!
