The person below me game......

Use soil (humus based) and keep moist, but a little dry will do too, but only for a day or two! Also do not let it under the sun (if yes, one hour at the most). It also needs some relative humidity and not let it over 25oC! Leaves will be the indicator! Do a little googling and you will find more info!

wow... Thanks!!! I have gotten 8 tubers from 6 to 13 cm diameter! supposed to be two different shades of pink and also alba forms... curious to see if they survive...

TPBM rec'd some Pterostylis and was underwhelmed by the pea sized tubers!

 

[cnycharles]

I actually opened up the paper towels for mine to finally pot them up (kind of late ) and saw the same thing. Looks like only one had a shoot so I'm going to order some more so sort of true

tpbm has to listen to a lot of grumbling at work because most workers including tpbm will be laid off for a few months

tpbm is happy for the folks with budding Pk hybrids :clap: , but would like to know the names.

 

[cnycharles]

sure, the budding one is incan treasure (longifolium x pk), which someone has called a dog of a cross; my non-budding one is (pk x eric young) don't have the name handy
btw, the budding hybrid is smaller than the non-blooming one (go figure)

TPBM is not sure but hopes pterostylis plants are coming out of dormancy so they can be watered!

 

[cnycharles]

true, I emailed vendor asking when it is safe to repot and then start watering

tpbm saw some nice hart's tongue fern with other interesting small ferns, a large pileated woodpecker flying over a large open expanse around the thruway (much wider open territory than usually see them) but not the native orchid they were hoping to find; a nice day all in all, overall!

False, Colchicum autumnale was a plague at the my university in Germany...

TPBM, is P%*^#&-O#Ç that the supposed Paphiopedilum helenae fma. delicatum bloomed like a plain normal Paphiopedilum helenae (and it came from the nursery were it should not be a mistake with its correct ID)
