These are some photos for the folks who are just starting to get into Neos. You may have read or been told that they don't grow as fast compared to other orchids. Here are a few of mine that I've had for 3 years. Depending on the variety and probably the genetics of each individual plant, some just grow better and faster than others no matter what you do to them. So if you have a "whiney" one that always seems to have problems, it might not be your fault. If you've used appropriate culture and it still whines, just blame your plant. You may feel like you used part of your grocery money to get 6 leaves and 3 roots on that neo but just give it a little TLC and time. It will reward you with a pretty cool plant in just a few years.
