Root porn!!

[Jeff214]

I got the Epi. parkinsonianum as a bare root division import and immediately mounted. It... did not do well. It would not root and steadily lost its leaves. As a last ditch effort, I threw it in water... and it seems to be responding. Once I get a new growth going in water culture, I may try mounting it again with far more sphag.

all looking amazing and i see my crispa is heading to a pot like that in a year or two, i really like the square shape!

I feel like I bought / ate them just so that I'd have containers for my catasetums, haha. They were delicious!


I couldn't find shallow pots larger than 12 inches (bulb pans and azalea pots) so I had to go to a planter pot specialty shop here that carried enormous bonsai pots. I was debating on using a wire mesh from homedepot but this looks better than anything I can muster.
