Amazing roots! What is your ambient RH? Do you mist the aerial roots daily?

Repotting overgrown phal
Well, I'm kinda newbie still, but have been reading the last year or something.
My introduction- think some of these are blooming at that time: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ng-norway.html And some more pics of how they looked before, and why they grew like this, kinda neglected and my hubby was filling the pots with water. Some died, but some adapted and started growing aerial roots like he.. ;) to survive. I started this room only few weeks ago, and I'm just started giving them space that makes it easier for them to grow the way each of them want. I used to bath them once a week, now trying to give them 'habitats' that makes it easier taking care of the roots. Rarely give them nutrition, but every now and then. Bathing: http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...238a3d1bd3.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...204e7e4dac.jpg Easier caring for the roots😊 http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...0890219e8d.jpg Pics from september, 2014: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...lots-pics.html Well, answer to your question: I have no idea- but working on it. Gonna keep you updated with my setup😎 |
Well, trying different things here. Decided to combine plants, but they need different watering and nutrition, made my own pots to make it easier to adjust.
Maybe use a brown hair-rubber instead of black :p Some random pics: http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...a98a2b7f33.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...bfd895b750.jpg Holes- for the roots 😎 http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...8e75f9e03e.jpg ^^ not orchid, but still kinda cool :p Tillandsia http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...fd70e06be2.jpg Nepenthes http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...49325ff3e6.jpg Orchid and Sarracenia http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...872322cab8.jpg |
Bought this last year, first time re-blooming after I got it.
Love to see this happen :) http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...e2496f2950.jpg First flower starting to bloom. It smells kinda like honey. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...8bdeb197ee.jpg Grown a bit the last year :) http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...919fc97170.jpg |

Your setup and plants are wooowwww amazing!
Love your displays Very well done........im so full of ideas now 😂 |
I'm impressed that's for sure. It all looks really great. That looks like a nice bath! It takes me back to when I had fewer plants and watering was not an industrial effort. ;) Well done!

the roots ... my goodness!!! Awesomeness

Thanks😎
lotis146: lol, well- lets see how many I have next week, going to a place that sells orchids… Man, gonna be hard to not buy one or two (or many :p ) to take home😎 It does take some time to water them like this- I have planning to build a wall behind them- and mist them with some device and yeah- still thinking about that one. Forside About the roots: yeah, I love them😊 Phalnoob: lol, as you can see, I'm always getting new ideas😜 Its kinda fun, though? |
Going away for some days, so I have put the orchids in random pots, those I'm not done repotting that is.
The big one actually needed a 10 ltr bucket to fit😜😎 http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...468437176f.jpg (Didn't chop the last spike, took one- gonna cut the other one aswell- blooming for months, need a rest) Gotta love roots: http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...95da9699b6.jpg Okey, and some pics of a really, really, really white one- with beautiful greenish on the flowers💕 http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...b70d565c3d.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...5e1f0242c4.jpg Layers with beautiful flowers- shows from every angle😊 http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...1876231e1a.jpg Angel or alien😜? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...2f00129191.jpg Hope my hubby can handle them for a few days, all should be able to be left alone for some days. Some are spiking- maybe I get a nice surprise when I get home, usually they grow when you dont see them everyday- lol, maybe cause you actually notice the difference better… http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...b936e85a5c.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...913f275484.jpg Yeah- still working on that room… |
