Repotting a large Angraeucum (Angraecum Crestwood 'Tomorrow Star')

Sure, OK to bump. I also put the correct name in the Thread title. This one is 3/4 Angcm. sesquipedale, which is a warm grower, But that 1/4 Angcm. eburneum will give some cold tolerance. Where are you growing it, inside or out? If you're near the coast it could grow outside fine, otherwise would want a bit of protection in winter.

It sounds to me that it is responding well to your care, so whatever you're doing, keep on doing it. These are rather slow growers, so be patient.

Thank you! So what correction did you make? I forget what I posted lol I think just Angraecum? Should I be more specific in the future?

Well this Orchid did just fine out, in a very harsh and torrential winter, as I know you well know! Well not perfectly, the plant survived without trouble, but the storms killed the sprouting flowers when they came.

Thanks, I was just going on instinct! Is there anything else you would have done to rescue the plant? Though I'm sure you do not have as much trouble with your Orchids, not making the rookie mistakes I do! X3

Originally, it said "Angraecum (Tomorrow Star)" In the middle of the first page it was identified as Veitchii x sesquipedale but without the name of the cross (Crestwood). ('Tomorrow Star' is a cultivar, not the name of the grex)

Not making rookie mistakes? I have made many, many rookie and not-so-rookie mistakes over the years, hopefully have learned from some of them. (When people say that an expert is someone who has killed 1000 orchids, the number is far too low. I'm far from an expert, and have lost a much higher number than that! But if you don't try you don't learn) Your instincts were very good, and the plant is rewarding you. You have done well!

I grow Angcm. sesquipedale mostly outside. Since it tends to spike around mid- December, it's a good excuse to bring it inside for a month or two. The odds of getting flowers are much improved. Once it has bloomed, out it goes. The plant does fine with the cold (even the species... the hybrid with eburneum does even better) but it's rough on the developing flowers so a little protection until it blooms can help.
