Hi everyone! It's been a while since I made this post so I figured I'd give an update!
Unfortunately, the kelly longley died (well, it was probably already on it's way out but the shelf falling on it probably didn't help)
But thankfully I can give updates on the FDK after dark NOID and SVO Black Pearl!
The Fdk. noid is doing great! The new pseudobulb is about 15-16cm tall and gorgeous (although haven't been able to fertilize it as much due to moving recently and still getting my gears sorted). Just wondering if I should try inducing it into dormancy as it is winter here.
As for the Fdk. After Dark SVO Black Pearl, it's doing super good! Something was growing underneath the sheath of this years growth and to my surprise it was a new pseudobulb! Trying to put it into dormancy, but the leaves refuse to drop even though I haven't watered it for like 2 weeks.
So yes, although sadly one died as a result of my failure, the others have been doing great! Would like to thank everyone here who helped with special thanks to Stephen! Your advice and videos have been a TREMENDOUS help!
But also, haha looking for some advice on some of my other catasetinae
This is a Fdk. after dark SVO Black pearl and I'm just wondering if I should give it a little water to plump the pseudobulbs back up (it came to me in its dormancy) as it has shriveled quite a lot. I did give it one pump from my mister in the hopes that would be enough, but it didn't really do anything haha. Another issue is the base of this years growth being brown. When I removed some of the sheath I found it a be a bit too brown for my liking so just wanting some advice on that. Any opinion would be great!
The next plant is the Monnierara Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft', the last leaf fell off about 3 weeks ago and I thought that's great, dormancy so I don't have to do anything with it for the next few months. But I peeped a look at it and I saw a new growth (or at least that's what I think it is, I feel like it's way too small to produce flower spikes). So yeah, bit confused on what to do with that.
