Trichoglottis brachiata (Project 13 - Summer 2011)

[Otis226]

Ok, here's the little brachiata I got at Smiley last Fri. Only 6 leaves and one good root and another nub. It was tied to a galvanized wire. I decided it would probably be a good candidate for one of my man-made plastic hardware cloth mounts.

YAY!!!! Maybe my trich will bloom in the Spring/Summer, too. It is continuing with new leaves & rootlets.

Nice one Tony, I like your mount too.

Yes I like your mount too! Keep us posted on how you do.

Monthly update~~~

Have lost a few of the older leaves, but the plant is making new leaves. New rootlets. I would say that the plant may have grown a little more than an inch (~2.5 cm) since I got it in Mid June. Maybe a total of 4 new leaves.

Mine hasn't grown much either. But root growth has just sprung to life!

So it seems that this is a slow growing one? Has anyone's flowered--mine did not.

Bob, I have mine in vase culture as I am in a very arid environment. That seemed to have helped mine. YMMV.

Mine is looking like crap..... It dosen't like the cool rain or temps. I moved it inside for now.

Not here.... I had nods when I bought it but they disappeared on me. I think it needs higher humidity then I can give it! I almost traded it.
