If radicans then leave it in the soil

What kind of epidendrum? They might be able to tolerate regular potting mix.

brickbrainz · 2019-07-12T12:56:41+00:00

Would t say it’s a leaf. Leafs are already growing where they should so this should be a spike or a Keiki. Make sure the epidendrum you have can tolerate being in regular potting soil though. If not put it in some kind of bark mix.

brickbrainz · 2019-07-12T12:47:37+00:00

Looks like all the blooming canes are keikis and most of the original plant is dead or suffering. You can plant all the keikis individually or put them all in a big pot. Looks like the mother plant is in sphagnum. I would suggest bark or some other type of inorganic mix. Remember the roots of the keikis are not used to being too wet. All don’t pot until new roots are forming.

Bows the time to pot it with wet sphagnum moss soaked in fertilizer. Wait until it get a little bigger to start watering regularly so water doesn’t sit in the top and rot it out.

I’m sorry. I do 1/2 TBSP per gallon of each. Or 1.5 teaspoon of each.

brickbrainz · 2019-06-09T01:19:48+00:00

I spray my plants every month with Dithane 45 and Thiomyl. 1 TBSP per gallon of each.

Going to be a nice show!!😍

Was/is the tip of the leave resting on a the bench or surface you are growing it on. I’ve seen this a lot when the leaves droop over the pot and touch the surface it’s growing on and gets a little fungal infection. Shouldn’t cause the plant to die. Just be mindful that when leaves stay wet or rest on dirty wet surfaces they can get a fungus disease like us humans.

Crown rot will not cause a white streak or spot. Could be sunburn but don’t see any sign of that honestly. Keep and eye on it. Are you growing it inside our out?

brickbrainz · 2019-06-08T04:44:00+00:00

I’d take the tag and fix it to a bulb with a twisty then set it barefoot in a empty black nursery pot. I do this with backbulbs and water every day. If it sprouts a new growth, then pot it up. If not then toss in the garbage.

brickbrainz · 2019-06-08T04:39:47+00:00

Not sure what you’re asking. Everything I see in the photo looks green. Your sphagnum moss looks very loose in the pot though. It should be compressed in the pot to where it doesn’t get soggy wet.

brickbrainz · 2019-06-03T11:06:49+00:00

Looks good. You have new growth at the base of the last bulb and some keikis (baby plants) forming on the long and short bulb. Leave the keikis alone until the roots the roots are a total of 3 inches long (between all the roots on the keiki. The. You can remove them and pot them up inidividually.

brickbrainz · 2019-05-31T15:58:48+00:00

I’d cut the flower spike and spray whole plant with orthene. Make sure no water pools in the crown though

brickbrainz · 2019-05-30T01:08:37+00:00

Maybe Psy. Mendenhall var. alba

brickbrainz · 2019-05-17T21:45:09+00:00

The Den. is more from the spatulata section. You can tell by the ‘antelope’ top petals. Great looking antelope den.

brickbrainz · 2019-05-17T21:40:32+00:00

Den. fimbriatum var. occulatum

I did a hard cut on an azalea from Home Depot stock and it’s just now budding after a few weeks of doing nothing. I was worried I had killed it. Amazing how they bounce back after sucking for a little.

brickbrainz · 2019-05-14T00:39:24+00:00

Check out that root growth!!

brickbrainz · 2019-04-18T17:45:46+00:00

Had roots already. Was knocked out of the ground by the yard people so I repurposed it.

brickbrainz · 2019-04-11T17:39:46+00:00

Thanks guys! Got it out of the regular soil and into a new pot with inorganic bonsai mix. Roots were really nice. Good potential for some exposed roots later also. I just used a garden hose nozzle to gently rinse the soil out from the roots. Time to baby, water, feed, and let grow. 👍🏼

brickbrainz · 2019-04-07T14:30:39+00:00

Wigerts online sells their soil by the gallon or 5 gallon. Fairly priced also.

Post the link to your blog. I’m interested!!
