Dendrophylax fawcettii HELLPP! Roots... Male
Question Dendrophylax fawcettii HELLPP! Roots...

Hi everyone,

No one gave me any info last time anyway...

A little over a month ago I purchased a Dendrophylax fawcettii-- SO COOL -- It was doing well: had many roots over 18" in length, and 4 new roots, all around under 6" with nice green tips around an inch long.

Recently, though, The tips have decreased in size, now only about half an inch long, and I feel the roots should not be stopping growth as they are less than half the size of the mature roots! Am I doing something wrong?

I keep it in a "green house" (shelving unit with plastic covering over it), and mist it about 3 or 4 times a week. It is in a corner with light from the west and south, not direct , though.

Should I give it some sort of fertilizer? Should I be putting it under the sink rather than just misting? Could it be that I need to water more consistently? Different lighting?

Btw, its in a 2" slated basket with a pinch of sphagnum.

THANK YOU!!
gdupont
