Default epidendrum bifalce!!

Okay so I got this plant as well today with the icky catasetum. Thanks to @Bud for easing the fear that this epi has a infection. Even though little paranoid me still used the aspirin method.

This is my epidendrum bifalce. First one I have ever seen for sell and as I was cleaning out the many many many dead and fried roots I found it had not one not two but 3!! Full grown and detached keikis!! Hurray!! I placed it in a Dendrobium mix, since it is of the cattleya family I felt that it will continue to work well..fingers crossed!

Here are some pictures of the plant be warned it does have some cold water damage to the leaves.

This makes me wish I had taken a better look at mine before I potted it up. Mine is a smaller plant, but still...I wonder if it had any that were completely separated. My roots probably weren't as dead as yours because I was there the first day of the show and it hadn't been shipped elsewhere before coming to me. Heh.

I noticed a new growth on mine, so I guess it's not slowly dying...or it's trying to trick me. I'll have to take a picture before a squirrel knocks the darn thing over. Those darn things keep knocking over some reed-stem epis that I have in potting soil (they grow great for me in the stuff...better than bark) and I'm about to lose it.

Any updates on this? Mine is growing SOOOO slowly now that cooler weather is here. I should probably go about finding somewhere indoors for it, but not sure if I can find a spot with enough light. (I'd probably just leave it outside in a somewhat sheltered spot if it was better established).

Hmm, sorry to hear that. Mine isn't sulking just slow going. I'm one of those people that tends to grow in straight bark. Been keeping it on the dry side (maybe a little too dry...a lower leaf is yellowing but could just be cold since it isn't crisp just yellow), morning sun, days in the 70s lately and nights in the 40s, fed it twice so far with fert/seaweed mix and that's about it. One new growth is quite fat but only about 3/4" - 1" in height so far and just noticed a really tiny one this morning. I'm wondering if I should be giving it more sun now that I've had it for a month since many epidendrums like quite a bit of sun. The dilemma of having a plant that you can't find much info on!

I'm not sure of the temps that you're growing in, but I noticed that this guy had a little blurb attached to a picture he took and mentioned cool. *shrug*
