Phragmipedium schlimii

[blondie]

Morning afternoon evening :rollhappy:

I noticed I finally have a spike on my schlimii :clap: I noticed it mid Feb, but its grown all of maybe 3cm out of the fan. Not is it normally this slow or has mine just stalled, and having a little bit of a hi say fit.

Or do I just need to be a bit more patient with the spike

I'd say it sounds like it stalled. Hope that's not the case. What have your temps and light been like? I don't think P. schlimii is a particularly slow grower when it comes to spikes.

Hi

I keep it a min of 15/16C at night and day temps can vary at the moment due to spring. It has been growing like a weed ever since I got the plant.

Most of my paph's stalled during the winter. They started to move up after the temp moved up around 60F night and 80F day. Which arrived us here late. Even today, temp went down to 50 F after we had several 90's few days ago. Crazy. I noticed stems and flowers are affected by these temps.
