Blc Shinfong Little Sun 'Young-Min Golden Boy is Flowering!
I got this orchid almost 3 years ago on my birthday at Lowe's. I asked the store Mgr. for a "birthday discount" and he gave me 50% off, it was in bloom. It has bloomed for me the last two years, this year it may get as many as 5 flowers. The flowers are bright orange, like people use in game hunting. It gets morning sun behind a sheer curtain as the sun is very hot here in Denver. It is in large bark and a plastic pot which I cut air holes in the side of. I water it 2 X a week and its always completely dry when I water it. I use Miracle Grow Orchid Food about 2 X a month full strength. I would like to split this plant after blooming but not sure I know anyone to share a plant with. Oh, I also mist this orchid 2 X a week when I water it. Would growers on here split this or just let it be? Does splitting it have any advantages? I really need to get some Cattleya's now that I have had such good luck with this one!
