My new orchids from POE and some pic from the show.

Just an update:

So, Pleiones, here is what I have learn so far. Pleione Yunnanensis is harder to grow, it had issues from the beginning and I was glad when it put out a new spike (new spike means new roots on the way=new bulb) but in the end the new spike stop growing and now has started to dry out, the roots also stop growing. And the bulb is started to look very dry as well (I think I can say that it is done).

Attached are pics of both of them and you can see the difference in growth.
I think next time I buy pleione bulbs, I will buy the ones with out a spike forming (yunnanensis had a spike forming but the other one did not).

Oh bummer. Don't have any Pleiones myself so can't offer any help but I feel your pain.

Me either, not having them I mean. So sorry about them.

Thanks for feeling my pain, and I new I was venturing when I got them, is all part of the process right!? I mean, we need to kill some to learn how to care for them (good thing this only applies to orchid and other plants).

Thanks. At least I get to learn and one out of two is not too bad. I'll just put the label on my RIP jard
And as we all know you got to kill your good shared of orchids in order to call your self a hobbyist, and since I had not kill any so far with in the last year, this puts me back on track.
