Stan wardii- time from spike to bloom?
Hey all. Just got my first Stanhopea- a smallish but mature wardii with one little spike. It needs to be repotted ASAP as it is overgrowing its basket, but I'd prefer to let it bloom out first rather than risk losing the spike due to repotting stress.
However, I can't find any info on how long spikes take to develop. If it's going to be r-e-a-l-l-y slow and take months, I'll just go ahead and run the risk and upgrade its living environment. I'd hate for it to have to adjust to new surroundings as winter approaches. But if it will just be a couple of weeks, I know the flowers won't last long, and I'd be fine with waiting til she's done showing off.
Right now the spike is between 1/4-1/2" (1cm). Thanks!
