A few weeks ago I was reading older posts in this section of the forum, found some about this species, and was instantly smitten. And then I was distraught, for vendor after vendor did not sell it! Or they listed it, but “out of stock.” WOE. But then I found a few places that did carry it, and I recently got this one ("Blues Brothers" HCC/AOS x "Royal Blue" AM/AOS) from Asuka Orchids in California.
I’m keeping it potted for now (pot is about 4" diameter), though eventually I’d like to mount it so it can grow more naturally.
It looks like a pretty healthy and mature plant, and also has several keikis on it. None of the keikis have very long roots, however – is there anything I can do to encourage them to grow longer roots so they can be potted up separately? It also looks like all the new foliage on the plant is actually on the keikis – would moving them (once their roots are big enough) be dangerous for the parent plant, which doesn’t seem to making any new canes other than the keikis?
