Thanks! :)

Tindo do you have your pleuros mounted or in pots?

I only just got my P. tribuloides from a great friend up north and I was amazed to discover that the new roots it's putting out are totally bright orangey-red. I don't know if I can manage to get a decent photo of them.. like the rest of the plant, they are tiny :nod:

Here are a few pics. The first one is my Platystele, mounted on a stick,

WOW! This one is magnificent!

Thanks! That is a pic of it before it came into full bloom. Now, its back to looking like it does in this pic. I love it. Its a constant bloomer, and am getting new leaves all the time.

Ok I'm officially jealous :nod:

That Platystele is one very healthy, happy and well grown plant and your P. tribuloides is very nicely established with a lot of flowers on it! :drool:

Great photos too.

Can you tell I'm a fan of Pleurothallidinae? :biggrin:

I'm slowly going through all the terrarium threads and pics in your gallery so forgive me if this question is answered somewhere in there, but do you have these
growing in your vivs or in some other growing area?

And do they get misted every day?

Tindomul 04-05-2007 10:35 PM

Yes, they are growing in my vivs, and they get misted almost everyday. Hand misted. So its pretty heavy mist. They also get lots of ventilation. When the Platy was in a more stagnant air spot, it starting getting white mold.

Constant bloomers; Pleurothallis hypnicola

I just made a post in the Pleurothallis Alliance forum, on my constant bloomer, I think mentioned it before; Pleurothallis hypnicola.

Is there a thread on constant bloomers or plants always or most of the time in bloom? There should be :nod:

Thanks for the info Tindo,
I actually had that problem with my 3ft Masd. tank so
I cranked up the fan to a higher speed which has certainly helped.

Tindomul 04-05-2007 10:59 PM

Yea, its tricky trying to figure out how much fan power to use in these.
