Project 2015 Spring [main]: Amesiella monticola

[reliablefool]

I had been eyeing that spot since it arrived because it seemed swollen, but nothing started to poke through until a week ago. It's been in my care for a little while now so if it's a spike I will be claiming at least partial responsibility. :P

Ugh, darn my fumble fingers
Dropped it the other day and thought it was ok but apparently I broke the newest leaf...
On a positive note it's begun putting out a second new root

Mine still looks about the same. No new leaves, haven't disturbed the bark to see if there is any root growth, but the top of the roots I can see are still green, but it still seems to be way smaller than anyone else's pictures .

Mine is doing better ever since putting into the high humidity terrarium. Feeling pretty good about it.

My plant died

It was doing swell before my vacation (not really growing much, but healthy), and when I got back it was dead. Looks like it got some sort of infection, all the leaves went yellow/brown and dropped off. I was gone 3 weeks, and as with every summer i moved all the orchids to the coolest room, pulled the curtains, and watered them well. It was hotter than usual when I was gone, and I guess combined with the lack of air movement and humidity from them being watered, it got rot. 3 other orchids got it too, and 3 other orchids are nearly dead from lack of water, including my very favorite Den victoriae-reginae.

Ouch....

Mine has grown out what was left of the eaten leaf and started a new one. I am using insecticide (Imidacloprid) liberally this time. It's possible it's a slug, in which case insecticide won't do anything to help.

I just recently put mine in a small fish bowl with lava rocks and water in the bottom hoping the increased humidity will bring forth some action.

That's like saying, "You already washed your hands today. Why are you doing it again?"

Condolences for the loss. :/ Leaving on vacation for a week made me anxious to get back. 3 would've been killer!

Small update. Recently moved back to my apartment with a new windowsill greenhouse. 70-80% RH with temps up to 85 and low at 68-70F. It's still alive and even put out a small root tip that is growing ever so slowly. No sign of a new leaf yet, so here's to hoping!
