Ok. So I got my order of orchids today that I mentioned in the other thread. Basically it was a random 12 pic of some less than optimal plants. I'm going to post pics and get some advice. I'll try to limit them together to not have 12 different threads.

Here's the first. A Cycnodes Jumbo puff.

This plant has 2 plump bulbs but no growth. I think I'm going to just let it be on a windowsill and see if I get any growth this season. If not, I'll just make sure the bulbs stay plump and see what happens in the spring.

Agreed. Keep it as warm and humid as you can to encourage pushing another growth.

I don't have it in front of me, but the smaller pseudobulb might be the newest growth.

This plant never produced another growth...Until about 2 weeks ago.

Estacion...You were correct that the smaller bulb was the newer bulb. The new growth is starting on the smaller one.

The large bulb in the OP photo has shriveled some, but the smaller bulb with the new growth is still nice and fat. I have potted it up and am looking forward to a good growing season.

If I am not mistaken this should bloom in the winter.
