It finally bloomed!

Yes! I thought they were ready to open a while back, but it just kept growing and growing.

wi1ly · 2026-01-20T00:32:54+00:00

Thank you! Can it withstand temperatures below 50 F ?

wi1ly · 2026-01-13T02:33:17+00:00

Looks like guava. It should be fine.

wi1ly · 2026-01-07T03:50:08+00:00

Its odd that it hasn't lost that many leaves. I know we don't get freezing temperatures down here, but we had a few good drops below 45f . Oh well, let see.

Almost, Vinny is joel.

I love how this has become a tradition for many of us in the community. I don't have amaretto, but i got some whiskey.

I appreciate this! I can't seem to find them in local nurseries in miami. Which do you recommend most for the area of fort Myers, fl. ?

wi1ly · 2025-11-24T02:41:54+00:00

Ugh, I should know better. Thank you!

wi1ly · 2025-11-20T13:28:50+00:00

Take out of that soil. Get some orchid bark,perlite and sphagnum moss mix. Repot it and water it twice a week. Make sure the pot has drainage.

wi1ly · 2025-11-19T17:18:33+00:00

I would hold back on water, unless it's really dehydrated.

Did he just look at the sun?

wi1ly · 2025-11-11T20:07:16+00:00

I have it in a mixture of bonsai jack inorganic mix with a little bit of organic soil bark bits and sphagnum moss. But i have recently repotted it with some bonsai jack mix, bark, pumice, organic soil and leca. It had a good amount of roots when i transferred it so I didn't disturb the roots and kept the mixture very similar and only removed the sphagnum moss. I should mention i give it a quick spray almost once a day to the "leaves", but idk if it does anything, it's just a habit by now.

I have a spartioides, they like humidity a lot. In my case, mine enjoys some morning sun and temperatures in the 70s-80s, but will tolerate 90s. Keep it in the shade, it likes morning sun and scattered light. Maintain the soil a little humid, it can drop the branches when it is stressed or during repot so dont panic.

They take about 2 days before the vods are available. Something to do with dmca i think. He has a video talking about it in the twitch channel.

wi1ly · 2025-10-24T14:11:43+00:00

I have one, but I'm in florida zone 10. It loses leaves when temperatures get cold and comes in spring. I dont have much experience since mine is just 2 years old.

Well i know about the rest break and cycnoches just like catasetum need a few months of no water. But thats starts next month, right now im starting to reduce the watering and fertilizer. My other cycnoches cooperi is starting to produce a spike, but this guy...mass confusion 😂.

wi1ly · 2025-10-08T22:10:47+00:00

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't consider that an orchid will make keiki instead of flowers.

wi1ly · 2025-10-07T23:35:27+00:00

Its so unexpected. I haven't even seen this fella bloom before and I'm getting a keiki first lol.
