Steve, that is a 4 year old lindenii...I just didnt fuss about it and just continue the regimen for it...
pictures from day 1 when I first got it and the present...
The plant as a seedling was barely three inches (the two biggest= I had five plants in the grape vine; the smaller ones I gave away and kept the two biggest)
I just hope to bloom this American Ghost Orchid...maybe next year if they mature enough(its only 7 inches in length and in the wild they can be a foot in length when they flower

Wow, that is very cool. It is so rare to see a ghost like that growing for four years, especially in a non greenhouse environment. I have to say that you definitely doing something right!

Thank You ! Id like to see the blooms when they open...the plant on the left is in spike and the one on the right is still in bloom...
I read the AOS feature of the way the lindenii was being cared for and raised: I also asked people here in the forum how they grow their lindenii...and the trick is: not to let it die! I live day to day caring for this in my environment giving it the characteristics of its native habitat and mimic even the dry spells and the flooded tides...I guess I am lucky this has not yet conked out on me

Lia, its been quite a long time....as I remember I got it from a private grower in Florida and it was a clump of seedlings in a bed of moss; nylon tied around a dead grape root....I transferred it immediately in a bed of Spanish moss in a pool of water under....it was newly deflasked so I was worried I would kill it....it is still at present happily thriving ....I hope I get to bloom it soon

Nice, I like how you mounted it.
