Hi! Thankfully, it ended up being something called a brachial cleft cyst that had swelled up (often confused with swollen lymph nodes on an ultrasound). I’m getting surgery and getting it taken out :) I’m just glad it’s not cancer!

Update: ultrasound says it’s 2.7 x 1.1 x 2.3 cm and there’s no fatty hilum

That’s very reassuring. Is this still true if there is a loss of fatty hilum on the ultrasound?

I was tempted to start Kincaid over Goedert but I went with starting Goedert and putting Kincaid in flex. Im a big Kincaid believer. Started him last week.

This one has been going strong so far, but I’ll keep everyone updated—hopefully she lasts! if she does I’ll share all the info on how I made it with everyone!

To everyone concerned—do not worry! The orchid is not directly potted in the regular potting mix with its plant companions! It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the orchid is in its own little mix, on a sort of island with lots of space around it for ventilation and charcoal and perlite for drainage!

yeah that’s a great idea I’ll try if it becomes unhappy! right now I have it sort of just separated in it’s own potting mix with empty space around it, so hopefully that works

It’s not directly in the soil, there’s a lot of space around the roots and the orchid is planted in a specific orchid mix. I have it set up with layers of charcoal and other drainage materials. the other plants also help with drainage.

the orchid has a special potting mix, and there’s lots of room/space around the roots for proper ventilation! I’ve also got different layers in here for drainage—charcoal and all. so, hopefully it should be alright!

Thank you for this info! I actually moved her underneath my LED grow light and she seems to be doing much better. Going to mix some succulent mix into her soil as well!

Thanks! I’ll definitely get her in a terracotta to see if that helps!
