Default Quickie Project Updates

The thought hit me this morning that the calendar hasn't brought up reminders for our Project 5 - The Quickie Project - updates. I checked and for some reason, it wasn't there...again

I've re-entered the event so we should have reminders for update on the 20th of each month.

By the way, I've made some changes to mine. Took it out of the aliflor and put it in a small pot with EpiWeb cubes instead. It's starting a new growth and I've cut away the sheath which turned brown along the way.
I've also moved it into the Exo-Terra.

Sue, since it is potted in epiweb, will you be treating it as mounted and watering it daily? How did you use the epiweb in the pot, I would think the chunks would be hard to use in such a small pot if that is what you used. I ended up putting mine in some small alifor, but I don't like the alifor. The alifor floats up to the top everytime I water and I am unsure how often to water with it. The root system wasn't in the best of conditions and it is showing signs of dehydration. I am hoping it will adapt to it's new potting medium soon, but I haven't seen much of a sign with the new roots it put out prior to repotting it. Yours is looking great!

Hi Becca

It's now in a 2" pot with 9 or 10 EpiWeb cubes. Epiweb is a great product, it can be squished when you need it to be

I made a promise to myself that I would make an effort to cut back on watering and I've made improvements but felt that the aliflor was holding a bit too much for this 'chid. I'll be playing around with the watering regimen over the next weeks...with the change in the media and in the location, I'm not sure what to expect.
I figure the projects are supposed to be about learning experiences and this one is giving me my money's worth!

Reginae is on the move!

New pseudo bulb growth AND note the shadow in the dry papery "sheath".

Is there any chance there could POSSIBLY be a live bud in there?

Dorthy: Really? REALLY? It's not a root or a nubbin? So, what does that leave?

Give me a B, Give me a U, Give me a D! YEeeeeaaaAH TEAM!


Cowboy: This is Laelia Reginea. . .a little rock growing species.

I've had this since 10/26/2007! It has done nothing, it's been just a bump on a log all this time.

Now, all the sudden, I've got all kinds of new root growth, a new pseudo bulb growing and a SHADOW!

OMG! I am so excited. . .I've got to go lay down. . .I am getting verklimpt.



Edited to add: Scratch that! I am getting myself a cranberry martini!
