My Oda. Nettie Valentine

My intergeric hybrid, Nettie Valentine, is putting out new pseudobulbs and I couldn't be happier! Take a look!





Here's a photo of when she was blooming a few months ago:

Cool! 2 new growths means at least 2 new spikes in the future! Nice color on the blooms, there are a beautiful red.

Judging by the wrinkled pseudobulb, I'd suggest you water more often.

Yeah I have tried to up the watering regimen by thoroughly soaking this one through and through when I water... I didn't want to overwater, but I know I need to increase it's current cycle...

Thanks for the comments!

Be careful about not overwatering. It might never plump up again. Once a bulb starts growing new bulbs, alot of it's energy goes into the new ones, and from what I've seen on mine, they never really plump up again. I think you'll be better able to judge the watering by watching the new growths in the next few weeks. If the leaves are accordion like, it needs more water. If not, then it's fine!

Thanks, Camille.... So far, so good
