COELOGYNE ROCHUSSENII- OR- the waiting is the hardest part II

[DirtyCoconuts]

I bought this plant as 3 pbulbs from a seller at i think a 2018 show.

this plant was very popular at the time and they were selling huge plants for huge $ and i humbly asked if they had any smaller plants but not the single bulb (take a risk or wait a lifetime) deals.

she very nicely went under a bench and produced this one- in a small pot packed with sphag and she made me promise to neither repot nor water it until new growth. i agreed, paid and abided by the deal...new growth did not come until over a year later........


at this point i was over the plant and i felt i had done enough of keeping my word and i was going to do what i i wanted to initially and mount it with a nice reservoir of sorts.

now, i am not ripping that lady. she hooked me up, she gave me what she thought was the best advice for the normal grower and i think that she could not have been more wrong LOL


here is the plant today.
