I have roots on the brevi!! roots on the brevi!! Akhenaten was right, the red hots grow their roots after the pseudobulb matures. Now only one more thing I want to see growing, anyone have some spare buds they could lend me??

I had a bloom in January one year and November another year. They sneak up on you... the buds hide in the developing leaf, emerging as the leaf opens. Gorgeous roots!

Yup, unfortunately all three new growths were empty, oh well there's always next time.

Dear Lil Duck, congratulations on your gorgeous roots. Bravo! Our dear wise Roberta is infinitely right: "Healthy plant, healthy roots... flowers are in the future, in due course." Absolutely agree. I will add just one. Sophronitis needs a lot of bright light to bloom, otherwise it will not bloom. And when you give a lot of bright light, then the second generation of new bulbs will bloom, the grandchildren of today's bulbs. May I ask you? Please tell us how often do you water your sophronitis and what substrate is it planted in?

Hi I water my Brevi whenever it's fully dry, that's around 5 to 7 days. I grow it in a coarse bark media, with pieces around 12 mm (1/2 inch). Cattleya brevipedunculata grows more inland than other former Sophronitis so should be kept dryer or mounted.
