Stanhopea and Related Genera INDOORS

[Kevinator]

UPDATE
Stan. tricornis: same as last week, one growth popped off and the other one is still growing.
Stan. wardii: new growth is now starting to grow horizontally, same as last week
Cory. vasquezii: getting sunburns but still healthy. I forgot to turn on the humidifier sometimes and still doesn't show any problems. One new growth is starting.
Coryhopea Red Martian: growths now are being trained. No spotting and roots are starting to grow everywhere. No bulbs rotted.
Gga. tricolor: fungus spots are starting to appear. Whenever a growth matures, it starts to get this and the leaves end up falling off. New growths are still healthy.

So far, the plants are doing well. I'm glad that the Coryanthes is now starting to grow .

UPDATE

Nothing major. Coryanthes is steadlily growing and the spotting stopped completely. Stanhopea tricornis is starting to grow and Stan. wardii is also growing. Gongora tricolor is still healthy. The coryhopea growths are HUGE now!

[Kevinator]

UPDATE

Not really much. However the Gongora seems to be declining in health. Leaves are now growing out pleated and are very thin and small. I may have to discard it since it seems to be growing abnormally.

Coryanthes seems to be spotting again. Its growth spurt has stopped. New growth does not seem to grow anymore.

The three Stanhopeas and Coryhopea are doing well. Stan. wardii is starting a growth spurt and Stan. tricornis isn't doing much. Coryhopea Red Martian is still healthy with no signs of unhealthiness. This orchid always seems to stay lush no matter how much neglect you throw at it.

I've missed this before: you might want to ask one of the mods to move it to the Catasetum and Stanhopea forum where it might get read more?

Could do with some photos too!

Well done though. It's annoying when people tell you you can't grow things! I have some Catasetum types indoors, but Stanhopeas I think I will wait until I have a much bigger place and/or a greenhouse.

MAJOR UPDATE

Stanhopea tricornis is now in spike! Here's a picture!


I found the little thing today after fertilizing the plant.
*insert applause here*
I wonder what the flower smells like?

[Gonmon]

Did it flower?

[Kevinator]

No, sadly, it was only a new, deformed growth....but good news! My new gongora galeata is now developing a flower spike!

[Kevinator]

Alright, its been a long time since I have updated this but I think this will be the last one. My Stan. wardii just bloomed and so did my Gongora galeata. Check them out on my new thread.
