Please help my kovachii...

[Silvan]

find one of it's contact lenses or something. It seems to be on the floor. :rollhappy:
I mean seriously, will I ever get a decent kovachii flower?
*sigh*
Still opening, but it seems that the flower won't stand up for some reason.
Too much light maybe ?

Stake it up.

It helps prevents petal reflexing?

Stake it up.

Only the flower? I tried to move it and it didn't want to.

It helps prevents petal reflexing?

I was thinking, since it's growing on cliffs almost vertically, the flower is naturally looking downards maybe?

Stake it straight...it will go.

Stake the inflour!
Actually, you should have staked it when it started!

 

[Happypaphy7]

It's heavy.
Stake the whole spike, not the flower because then you risk breaking that flower off.

 

[AdamD]

Shhh! It's almost asleep!

 

[trdyl]

Yep, stake the spike.

 

[eOrchids]

I staked mine when they were in bloom.

 

[Silvan]

OMG! It works! I feel so dumb..
Last spring I placed this plant near the center of the growing table and when the spike started growing it was going away from the light. So when the flower opened horizontally I thought that maybe since the colour washes away fast, it was a way to protect the colour of the flower from the light.. Yeah, I was overthinking it.. lol

I think that only line breeding will prevent petal reflexing. We'll see in 20 years, ...

They've always grown straight up, so I never had to.

Shhh! It's almost asleep!

Thanks again guys
