This is a shot of my NOID phal that I call Daffodil. Its a little root happy right now....it grew into the baby Cat's in front and now I have to move the two together for awhile.

LOL. I think it wants a clear pot for Christmas! Possibly a very large one!

it sure wants a new pot all right - though its in a clear one now - I have it in a terrarium that holds in a good amount of moisture so all of them continously produce those huge air roots. I have a couple i took out and their air roots have started to dry up - though they are still happy enough to put out new leaves and one spike.

So its been a long while since i visited and posted updated pics of my orchids...My phal that i call daffodil has continued to grow and grow - I had to take it out of the terrarium and am now trying to find it a safe new home somewhere in the house...(new kitten thinks the roots are great toys) second pic is the reason i have been away for so long...slightly different project. third photo is a keiki blooming for the first time, the parent plant didn't make it. fourth pic is a rescue phal finally blooming again after a few years. have to get a pic of my setup later and post it. its a mix of orchids and hybiscus seedlings...

Wow your plants look very happy! Nice blooms and nice that you are back!

That second one is the cutest little orchid I've ever seen. Be warned, though. Over time they get huge. You're going to need a bigger box

Incredible roots on your plants, too.

so i also have a question about the cattleya - first pic, second mass of roots. it obviously needs to have something done with it, its growing bulbs outside of the pot and roots everywhere. i have no idea how you are supposed to go about splitting this into a couple more manageable plants - or if its even possible with this one, the roots are super entangled...
