I bought this little equestris NBS orchid from Oak Hill Gardens this past December. . .it arrived in gorgeous condition AND in spike.
It's been in bloom for several months now but I had a couple of minor issues getting it stabilized:
It developed a little hairy white mold or fungus on the buds and around the base of the spike. I got that cleared up by spraying with Physan 20 a couple of times and increasing the air circulation. Thanks very much OB gang!
And then I moved it several times from place to place before I settled it into a really good growing space, it had a few buds blast in the interim because of temp and humidity changes.
So now we're both in our growing groove. . .and it's still blooming.
Bless it's tiny little beauuuuutiful heart.
