Maxillaria tenuifolia (Project 11 - Summer 2010)

[camille1585]

I gave up trying to properly repot it. There was no way to remove the bark without destroying roots since they have a solid grip on it. So I simply chucked it into a larger pot, and added a mix of bark, sphag and leca. Should be fine I hope, and now I have to re adjust my watering schedule so that I don't overwater it now!

I had forgotten about trying S/H for these. I decided to mount my yellow one yesterday. I wasn't getting on with growing it in bark. Good news is I noticed growth on it while I was mounting it and the project plant (the red one) also has lots of new growth. Maybe I should have tried it in S/H instead... or maybe I should get another one to try that

Anyway here is a pick of it's roots (better than I expected) and it newly mounted. Then one of it hanging with the project tenuifolia in my greenhouse.

Funny that yours does better mounted, even in a mix of bark+sphag I have trouble keeping up with watering!

i couldnt keep mine wet enough in just sphag! i htink its because im too stubborn to water more then 1 time a week. lol
