Over 3 months ago I mounted a moderate sized Max. Ten. onto a piece of cypress.* I kept it for 2 months indoors with no issues.* I transitioned it to a covered outdoor area with bright, indirect light.* I have began to notice some slight shrivelling of the pseudobulbs.* Nothing major, yet.* I have increased watering to daily early every morning and misting in the afternoon.* Weekly I soak the root area with half-strength fertilizer with 1 drop/gallon Superthrive.* Prior I watered every day to every-other-day when the outer moss felt dry.* I believe the 10-15 degree change in max temp to be a contributing factor, and we are in the mid to high 80's here now.* Will the pseudobulbs 'fill back out'?* Otherwise the plant seems healthy.* I can see some new roots down in the moss.* Input?* Guidance? Opinions?* Just don't want to lose this plant.Gregg
Mistking
Looking for a misting system? Look no further. Automated misting systems from MistKing are used by multitude of plant enthusiasts and are perfect for Orchids. Systems feature run dry pumps, ZipDrip valve, adjustable black nozzles, per second control! Automatically mist one growing shelf or a greenhouse full of Orchids.
Shriveling of the pseudobulbs is normally an indication of not enough water. I have the problem with my Encyclias and I just pump the water to them until they are plumb once again. Good luck.
