November update

Since it is first post in this blog, I'll start with the update. Here is majority of my plants, not all of them. Basically I believe that this is the only post where i put most of the plants. Next time I will post only about those who does something interesting at that time. So lets begin...

Lets start with Nelly Isler. She has been in bark media since August. Im not sure she is happy with it but it's good that I can't pick it up from media as I used to. So even though I can't see new roots, I'm sure she does something. Well as you can see, she has been suffering in lack of water but I must say, new growths in one half of the plant are pretty nice but I can't say it about other half. Well we'll see what she does for spring. If she's not getting better we will do something with her. Sphagnum moss again maybe - we'll see.

Zygopetalum no 3. She is the latest zygo I've purchased. She has 3 new growths but I can't see any spikes forming, it's OK though, it bloomed about two months ago with two spikes. Two growths are in very active growing but I cant say it about the third one. It is slightly lazy, but I'm happy about it, better slow-growint than rothin - right? lol This plant is not repoted after buying, but I will do it in spring. 

Little Zygo has finally two almost mature new growths and I didn't rot them, what a good news. Maybe I should rename her - she isn't that small anymore. Anyway I can't see any spikes forming - again, but I see lots and lots of new roots. So I just wait for another new growths. 

    

And the biggest zygo is the lazy one right now. She has lots of little new growths but they are not very actively growing. Probably she enjoys the autumn, good for her. lol
          

Well little Phalaenopsis plants are doing fantastic. They are both in spagnum moss and new roots are very healthy. Right now I'm waithing my order from Currlinist to repot at least one of them. The one which has at least 6cm of roots. The other one moves then into a big home made "green house" so hes leaves wont suffer that much. 

Talking about the mother plant, then she died. But I know it will happen sooner or later, she has grown two precious basal keikis which do very well. They only need little more humidity and warmth and that's what I give them to grow up. 

Since I'm already talking about Phals, lets talk about one cute white phal who has grown one basal keiki about three years ago. The reason why I talk about it, is that I'm hoping its going to bloom next summer. All my Phals bloom in June-August. 

Phal who I got from my boyfriend in last Womens day has so many roots that I'm still amazed she fits in her pot. I haven't repoted it yet but I will in spring. And she is making another spike from last one. Hope she will bloom for me, it surely has sentimental value. Also, don't worry about thirsty roots, she got water right after taking a picture. :D

Gigant Phal feels great. She lives with cymbidium and dendrobium nobile in north-west window. The new leaf you can see, grew like this with in two weeks. Awesome. The pot is also full of roots so probably i need to repot her AGAIN in spring. 

Dendrobium Pahalanopsis or Dendrobium Bigibbum does simply nothing. New growths that she has, has been there like this couple of months but she has no progress as I see. Well positive is that I haven't killed her, so let her do what she does, she seems to do it well. :D

Brassia 'Orange Delight' which I got for birthday is still in bloom. I can't say she is in active growth but she has new growths. I haven't repot her so I will do it in spring. 

I believe that my catasetum should be start thinking about dormancy, but she doesn't. She seems to be very happy in leaves. I must say, the little plant had one yellow leaf couple of weeks ago, but that's it. Nothing more. What I have learned recently is that I should whater her when the bulbs are starting to shrivle, but when I didn't water it about week, she still does nothing. And then my heart got aching and I waterd it, I don't know was it good or bad. Maybe she really didn't need the water. If someone can give me advise, it is very wellcome. Also its seedling (18-24 monthis untill bloming)

Well Catts and Encyclia. The big orange Catt had new growth, thats good. I didn't belive it will survive at all, she got very bad sunburn in summer and didn't do well since then. But now it has new growth about 3cm tall and I can see active red buds also, so probably I will have more new growths.

My Encyclia doesn't do much I must say. I can see that new growths are maturing but nothing else. No spikes no other new growths. Well we'll see what she's doing in spring. 

Little saved Catt is my favourite right now. Her big new growth is starting to open up her sheat and she already is making another new growths. What a good girl.

Paphiopedilum grows its new growths which she put out in summer. But still no flowers. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But againg I'm happy she is alive.:D

Fake Colmanara has buds forming, so in couple of weeks she should be in bloom. The sad news is that some of her buds are deformed. As I said she is fake Colmanara (they sold me Colmanara) and her buds look exactly like my oncidium hybrid buds. So we will see what comes out of theb, but I'm pretty sure she is the same.

As I already talked about thet yellow oncidium, she is still in full bloom althought she is starting do finnish it. Some bloomes are already dried. But she still looks fantastic on my windowsill - like a little sunshine.

My Aliceara had put out new growth and I'm so happy about it. I can't see any spikes - againg- but new growths mean always something good. It is pretty big plant, I don't know why, but she likes to grow sideways.

I don't know what to do wiht Onc. Sotoanum which I ordered from Shcwerter. She simple does norhing. As you can see, she has been suffering in lack of water. Maybe I should repot her when I get my little pots...I don't know.

Promenaea is doing well. She grows little new growth. I hope she will survive winter so and in spring she will start grow much more. Probably I will purchase another Promenaea in spring in orchid meething.

I can't get very good picture about Tolumina but she does very well. She has put out one new growth which grows upside down - can't do nothing about it. I didn't make pictures about vandas but the both of them grow leaves and the white one has also active roost. So everything is okay.

Big Cymbidium blooms from her second spike and it is breath taking. Also she has one new growth. Little Cymbidium have 3 new growths and I suport their root-growing with some sphagnum moss.

Dendrobium Nobile babys do well. They get little fatter every day. Hopefully they survive winter and put out some keikis.

Last but not sure least my Psycopsis Papilio has new growth. It is very small and I can't picture it but it's there. Im so happy. I moved her close to artificial light, so I hope she will grow the little one pretty fast. 

So that was November update, too lot of time to write and lof of time to picture. Hope you like it. If you have any questions leave them into comments and I'll answere them. 

Happy growing and stay tuned. :)
