my three "little" gramms...for now any ways!

[kindrag23]

My first gramm was a stapelflorum wjo had some rather unsettling issues possibly. So I had to cut off the tops and it is just now growing fresh baby growths.

2nd. Was a wallissi(sp)- great plant...just picky picky picky..shooting about 3 new growths and new leaves. Boy it will be huge when it grows up...

3rd. And final for now is a Measuresineum Erectum. It is a healthy guy whos colori g will do well w my wallisi.

Now must make sure that I have space for them!!!

Nice!

So how much space do you have? I'm thinking about wallissi as a landscaping project in my new garden so I'm very interested in seeing how you do with yours.

[kindrag23]

I have pretty decent space for now since it is small. But once it becomes to big I will most likely have to donate it.

[AussieVanda]

Are you going to g/house it? Any idea what your expected growth rates may be like?

[kindrag23]

Its been in my little unheated g/h but its to cold in the winter for outside. Its growing fairly well this year. I have around 4 new growths coming in for it. And the one large growing stalk and one feeder stalk I guess u could call it.

[AussieVanda]

Oh righto so you've had it for a while then. I'm considering a tree stump to mount one to.

[kindrag23]

Right now I have had it for about 4 months. I have seen pictures where it is around 15 ft. High HUGE!it is cinsidered one of the largest orchids in the world.

[AussieVanda]

Yep I've seen them as well, crazy huge!

Interestingly the vendor I will probably get mine from advocates the use of animal manure for this particular plant.

I can see its uses. Rabbit Rabbit manure gave me roses the size of dessert plates.
