Default Dendrophylax lindenii new root

After reading several articles about people who were successful growing the ghost orchid along side their other orchids, I decided to try growing with my Angraecoids. The worst case would be more dead orchids and the fun of seeing ghosts close-up. Over the winter I lost several roots and did not see growth. Now with the warmer temps, I see a tiny new root emerging. That's a toothpick pointing towards it in photo. Those dried shriveled curly things are dead roots.

The ghosts have a lot of growing to do this summer to get back to where they were before winter. At least one hasn't given up in my sub-optimal conditions.

Online at Oak Hill Gardens. They have them in stock sometimes. Currently Botanica LTD is selling them online at 5 to a flask. You would need to mount those yourself.

I'm afraid to try them. But I'll keep Oak Hill in mind though. Good luck!!

I forgot to mention that I think the dead roots might be from too much water combined with the cooler temps. Happy summer is almost here.
