Phalaenopsis gigantea - long term growing project

[tmoney]

man, i was just cruising their site a couple days ago. the girl is starting to look at me funny when im on here cause she knows ill be showing her some new plant that we “need” to add to our collection! buuuuut, you got me wanting to get more seedlings. so roelke has been sold, eh? wow, i thought they were one of the old ones, but i guess nothing lasts forever....

edit...i really need to stop coming to the OB! just bought 4 orchid packs from them of new crosses (including the gigantea and sobo) i seriously just told another member last week we didn’t want to get any more seedlings as we have a bunch we r trying to baby along. but i couldn’t help myself.

I like to buy compots from H&R in Hawaii, but unfortunately Harry doesn't seem to do Phalaenopsis. His compots usually have 30 to 50 plants in them, which I pot individually into 2-1/4 inch (5.75 cm) pots with the smallest plants potted four at a time into 4 inch (10cm) mini compots. Harry sells internationally.

wow! that many in a pot? the ones we’ve gotten from roelke have 4-5, and im expecting the ones i bought this morning to be the same. thankfully kinda, cause i don’t know what we’d do with that many seedlings...

Yes. The best is to come here 1 per week... I am actually getting overboard with the " I want this"

well, sade, you aren’t alone. keep your eye on the phal page over the next weeks as i may have a little surprise to share

sorry to double post, but for anyone in the eu looking for some gigantea crosses, i see popow has 2 young crosses available that sound interesting. a (knobby green eagle x flava ) x gig alba. also an amboinensis flava x alba. sorta pricey but sound look interesting.

Orchibias also in Europe also has some really nice ones, and not too expensive! Just sayin....

Camille, I think you need to fire up your 3D printer and make yourself a "I Do Not Need New Orchids" sign.
Maybe send one to tmoney as well

I'm definitely getting that gigantea flava though, that's a steal!
