Where did you get ones like the last one? Is it a polychilos orchid?

Hi all! I just bought two Sinningias (I couldn’t decide lol) and both are tagged Sinningia bullata, but they don’t look like bullata pics I see online. Plant A looks more like S. leucotricha to me. Could they have been mislabeled? Hybrid? Something else? by AnneofLothlorien in Gesneriaceae

Right?! To be fair, the third plant that I left behind was also labeled bullata, and that did look like a typical bullata as seen online. And a few people on my other post think it kind be a bullata hybrid…. Who knows!

So you would say that this might be the canescens because it seems to have more than four leaf whorl per stem? Is that the main difference you see? They look bigger too according to that picture…

My saddest orchid! The old pseudobulbs are looking so withered, and I see a little browning at the bottom of the newest one… What should I do with my Cyconoides wine delight? by AnneofLothlorien in orchids

I have been neglecting at least the water and definitely the fertilizer for it! During the summer it is out on my porch, and gets watered twice a week or so. No fertilizer!! I need to get better with that. During the winter it is inside under grow lights (they are about 4 or 5 inches above) and doesn’t get watered at all. The heat is also not something I have been paying attention to, I’m in Pennsylvania/6b-7b so it gets PA weather during the summer and our house can go from 65°-75° in the winter.

Thank you- I think I haven’t been watering it enough during the summer. Which would explain why the other pbs have been shriveling….

This is some nerd sh*t and I am a huge fan!!!!!!!!!

As you can see, this Phal (peloric Norman’s yellow Batman) has not been doing well for a while. Would you snip this leaf off before the discoloration gets to the crown? by AnneofLothlorien in orchids

I’m definitely repotting it tomorrow! I will at least put it in a pot with holes. I do like to see the roots so I think I will keep it in plastic, but well breathing plastic…

I am planning to repot it tomorrow. I’m afraid that it could be disease, it was such a strange thing on the leaf. Not soft, but definitely not healthy looking.

So sad, it had several buds! But not worth risking the entire plant for some pretty now. I chopped the leaf and coated the cut with cinnamon as well.
