i just found this sub and so this seemed like a fun thing to do. plus, we haven’t gotten any new orchids in a little bit 
also, may have cheated a bit and i just ordered 2 of them from popow. the first time we’ve gotten plants from them so another first. and also, i have been wanting to get a couple plants of a species so i can do some culture comparisons, and so we bought another fdk black pearl for me!
being a holiday today i don’t expect the box until late next week. we’ll be sure to post pix when we get them! |
Welcome to the project!! I guess Popow got some more plants in. I wanted to buy one there, but when I went to put it in my basket I got a message that it was out of stock... I've curious to see how your plants are! And then I might order a second plant there.

Attached are some photos. I said that there was only 1 brand new root, but it's actually 3! I finally got around to repotting it yesterday, and could inspect it better. The new leaf has also grown some since getting it.
My experience with Kelpak in the almost year I've been using it has generally been really positive. Sometimes the effects aren't very strong, but other times I see a mind boggling number of new roots.

Pic 1 is my order from J&L.
Front row L-R, Warczewiczella (Cochleanthes) amazonica, Phal. deliciosa, Gastrochilus obliquus (not from J&L).
Back row L-R, Trichoglottis triflora, Gastrochilus japonicus.
Pic 2 is the deliciosa. Definitely "petite"!
Long story short, my friend who was holding these for me offered me a Gastro. obliquus from a bunch he had raised from a flask he got a couple of years ago when I stopped by to pick up my plants. I accepted his offer not realizing at the time that what was in my hand (japonicus) was NOT what I had ordered from J&L. I had ordered obliquus. 
Looking for a home for japonicus with one of the NH orchid folks because I am afraid if I take it to FL it won't live long, even in winter let alone next summer. |

It must have heard me lamenting because I checked this morning and spotted new root tips! Progress at last! I put mine in an oxygen core pot to pick up humidity around the root zone

Mine arrived 10 days ago; and in spite of being shipped twice (thanks Camille) and repotted, is hard at work on roots and a new leaf.

I'm trying to decide between mounting and semi-hydro to repot. Would someone please just give me the temperature parameters these guys can handle? I'm getting confused, and intermediate to warm does nothing for me. I just want a straightforward "WW, keep it between 60 low at night and 85 high during day sort of advice.

If you have other Phals in your collection, this one can easily grow in the same conditions. This species is quite adaptable since is has a rather varied natural range. Check out the first post of this thread too, there's some useful info in the culture sheet. If you keep it above 60F at night it should do fine. I can't find much specific info online about temperature ranges...

I couldn't find specifics online either, thus my chagrin and irritation. Heck, I found out more cultural information about a Drac lotax than I did this silly deliciousa!

PS I'm FINALLY getting around to repotting. Update coming soon... and so far it's been a WOW repot. And not in a good way! Pictures coming later today...
