Thanks everybody!! Glad you likey
My gibbosa is hanging on the 'top' part of my chid hotel. Getting more sun than those below near the bottom that are being shaded by other chids.
She gets the humidity that mother nature wants to give her. As I do nothing more than spray them, or the ground to try to give some. I just checked our Orlando humidity now, @ 12:00 noon, in Mid March, it's 64%. So that's where the average is now, in the spring. Much higher in the summer of course. And The winter it a lot lower, surely we are about 25-30% here. But I was lower, cause of the heaters I'd put in the hotels.
But I guess covering them up when the 40's and lower were coming, and put heaters in the lower 30-40's did some good.
As in the winter months is when I noticed her popping out her spikes, just as my other phals did/are.
I know people mention not to water much in the winter, nor fert. But I still watered her, and others in the winter about 1-2 times a week. Especially the mounted ones. As well as fert weakly every other week.
Oh, and I got her from Ritter's Orchids, here in town last summer. As a tiny lil baby, and she grew and grew for me
Happy Phal gibbosa growing everyone
