How are Y'all's plants doing?

Mine is the same..... I think it the lag of humidity for me.

2 month update~~~

Have had the plant for 2 months. 1 new leaf. Nubbies seem to have stalled. They are about 3-4 mm "tall" & 4 mm wide.

Overall, the plant looks healthy.

I do adore the phallies--post a pic. Do you give your phallies Epsom salts (Mag Sulfate)? My phallies have had a horrendous time with the heat, have lost many leaves, I suspect that i won't see a spike for quite a while.

they are just low spikes. nothing exciting yet.

i dont use epsom salts. never heard of using them actually. in all honesty, i havent fertilized for almost 2 months, everytime i go to order fertilizer i get bogged down on the price. haha i know, im bad

I Finally ordered my plant last week and it arrived yesterday. It's potted & has a new leaf growing.

That's a nice one nenella! Great buy!

Paul Mc · #**178** 09-18-2011, 08:20 AM

There was recently a thread about the use of epsom salts, though I never really read it. I will have to look that up now.

Updates? Mine has completely stalled.

Nenella, how is yours doing potted?

Never done a project plant. But found a beautiful one of theses yesterday and it has been on my dream wish list for as long as I have grown orchids. I am going to grow it in a custom terrarium like enclosure since I'm a window sill grower and don't have the humidity for it most of the year. . Mines hanging bare and happily blooming 4 flowers currently, so right now just focused on not shocking it too much, I bet it misses it's green house already.
Only found out it was the project plant when I came home lastnight and was doing culture research.
