What do I do now with these two?

Hi,
I went to the OrchidExpo in Montreal this weekend, just to find out, that my TSG order never arrived :_( , after wandering around vendor stands for about half an hour, I came home with this: Cycd. Taiwan Gold 'ORCHIS' FCC/WOC GCP/20THWOC Cycd. Taiwan Gold 'Taiwan Orange' Took them out of their "moss thimbles", potted them, now what? When do I start watering? The Taiwan Orange has roots just starting, the other one not yet. Please help, my first Cycnodes ever... |
I was told that when the roots are about an inch long, you start watering. Those who are experts will certainly chime in and give you better advice on growing this. :)

Check out this page on SVO's website. I love these kinds of simple, explicit instructions! Catasetinae for Dummies!

Ok, thanks a lot Leafmite and cbuchman!
I've read the SVO culture info, and other ones besides, but I'm still being stupid about waiting for the shoot to grow a certain size, or waiting for the roots to be a certain length before commencing watering:scratchhead:... |
Root length matters the most, though I'd say both of those growths are big enough to water.
|
I agree on the growths being big enough to water, but root length is the caveat. It can make or break a growth's development in the coming months. I'd say if the p-bulbs still look nice and firm wait to water. If the plant is in obvious dehydration stress, water once and see if it perks up.

Thanks guys, I see no dehydration stress anywhere, but I have this big, unnatural itch to -at least- spray the medium...I need to stay strong ;)...

So...little update- I think the Gold is virused or otherwise "diseased" and the Orange is growing well. I've caught the problem a bit late (when the tips of foliage where browning gradually down) and spraying now with Physan20 once a week- not that it will help for a virus... On the photo you can really see the difference in growth, also noticeable for roots, and the second pic is a closeup of chlorosis?
