Hello!

I received mine last Wednesday at work AFTER I left for the day. So they sat in the box an extra night.

Then I fertilized them with earthworm tea. I think I must have shocked them with a too high or too low ph? Anyway, they looked a little better actually before I got them.

But we shall see what we shall see. . .not spikes yet, mind you!

#1 The mini aerangis
#2 Aerangis showing new roots but no spikes that I can tell.
#3 The dracula with burnt leaves.
#4 Jasper sniffing ONLY. . .probably shouldn't turn my back.

Hi all,
Sue please put me on the no-spike list
Certainly nothing on my plant (pic in gallery) that comes close to looking like Dave's or Terri's or Ross's.

JULIE, so glad to hear your plants arrived!

Thanks Jasen for the idea. I've got another plant that I want to mount and I will try this on that one.

Hi all--I have just returned from a two week vacation.

I ordered my orchid today along with a few TC--
Phal hieroglyphica and Den. aggregatum. I can't wait to get them and especially see if there is a spike on my Aerangis.

I'll post after I receive my order. Everyone's plants look wonderful.

Nope! I'm potted, or is that potty? Soon to be in a basket.

rsfrid, mine was mounted with no spike, I think it is just the luck of the draw or pick so to speak. I think everyone has an equal chance of getting one in spike unless you have some pull with the guy packing your order.
