Sedirea Japonica myounghwan not growing

[Connie Star]

My Sedirea japonica is doing exactly the same thing, ie, nothing. I guess I'll have to be more patient.

Same here!!! I have two Sedirea in the same pot, bought them that way. One grows great guns, the other just sits there. I do have to say they are both putting out roots but one not as vigorous as the other. Neither one have bloomed and I've had them for over three years. I'm glad they are in the same pot or one in particular would have ended up on the raffle table at the society meeting by now. I had a Sedirea before that I killed when I got pregnant (plants don't get watered when you can't stand the smell of the bark). I could get that one to bloom with no grief at all. Ginnibug

Seems to be a general thing then with this plant! I actually had to compare photos to even notice that the darn thing has grown! Most of the growth has been roots also. Still no blooms though, and I've had it 2 years. My previous one bloomed, but then it died of crown rot...

I have given mine a winter rest this year with less watering and cooler temperatures. Let's hope it will boost its growth in the spring!

.......just looking .........but a phal Orchid World and an Odontonia made it through enemy lines into my car....but anyway out of interest I took a look at their Sedirea . As I have said mine is growing roots like crazy. Well of about 20 they have in stock, I only saw 1 with a tiny, tiny leaf growing. Some had new root growth. Most had none.
I think we can safely assume tis not the season for Sedirea to leaf out, regardless of cultural conditions.

It hasn't been the season for a good few years now

[camille1585]

So maybe that means that when it is the 'season' for blooming, it will also last a few years!

[Freddie]

It better!

[orchidsarefun]

so serenading it with "Danny Boy" evidently doesn't work ? Have you tried Smithwicks ?

[Freddie]

I worry smithwicks will give it a red tint.
