Rhynchostylis gigantea

Thanks for the advice about root tip burn. Will definately keep that in mind.

I haven't posted for ages. Just bought a Rhy. gigantea spots. Is in basket with no medium. I am assuming that I should take care of it like my vandas? After reading some of the posts about this plant, sounds like I need to be a little more aggressive with fertilizing. My poor vandas get fertilized once in a blue moon. Despite all, they have bloomed or are in spike. So I'm a happy camper.

Hi Nita, welcome back. The last time I posted on this thread was back in Aug 08 I indicated that I had a Ryncho White and a Rotusa. I made a mistake. I have the Ryncho Gigantea Rotusa and Gigantea Red. The red is now in bloom and so deep waxy red. Take a look, I hope you enjoy!

I like these fleshy flowers! Congrats Don!
