Schoenorchis and Vanilla

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

It'll be a while before the Vanilla blooms.

Beautiful plant. Nice variegation.

There reLly isn't that much moss it's just the way it is wrapped around the piece of wood. Plus it has a new root about half an inch long wrPping around the wood. I can tell it's new because it's really green.

Does anyone know what time of the year the schoenorchis blooms?

You'll be surprised how much light Schoenorchis fragrans can take.

As much as Vandas?

Pretty much. I grew them near where my Vandas currently are. In fact, they were grown a bit brighter than the Vandas.

I currently have seedlings so they can't go that bright just yet. Gotta wait until they get dark green like the ones Chris has before they get that kind of light.

They don't like cold either. I made the mistake the first time around of growing them outdoors year round. The seedlings I currently have are all indoors.

If you dont mind me asking where did you get the seedlings? Were they in a flask or did you get them right out of flask? I would love a flask of fragrans, but nobody seems to sell them. Mine to is kept inside but during the summer it will defiantly join the vandas outside.

They were in flask.

I got it from some random person on ebay.

I don't know how else to get a hold of them.

[Chris147]

I will check eBay out, but I'm just curious as to how much you paid for them a d how many you got in the flask. Also when did you buy them? Thanks.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I don't remember how much I paid for them.

There were 8 in a flask (a hobby flask).

All 8 are still alive. And it's been roughly 3 or so months. They're all growing new roots that are adapted to life outside of the flask.

If you have any pictures I would love to see them. I love pictures and I hate posts without them. I think they add character to the post and you attract more people to it.
