I'm so sorry about your plants Ramon and Camille!  I know how disappointing it can be to look forward to something for so long and have it turn out like this. What do you think the problem was? Do you think it was because they were shipped bareroot and then it took to long to get to you? I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys and hope that they bounce back quickly!   |

Since I got my project plant almost two weeks ago, I've been trying it out in different pots to see which one works best. This is the latest combination....
I like how the purple in the pot picks out the purple tones in the leaves. And it is so cool that the leaves have purple in them. Some of the variegated ones have red in the leaves, which I think is considered a fault. However, I really like the purple-y tones!
Two spikes showing - still have time to play before they start to open and I need to get proper photos!! |

Shannen, it looks really nice in that pot.
When the spikes first start to show........just barely....do they look like a new growth?
Mine has something going on but I've never seen this type of plant spike before so I don't know what the look like.

Thanks very much Al & Sue! I like this combo too - so now its on to the tweaking part....
The spikes look like little 'crab claws' to me - and as far as I can tell, so do the new growths when they first emerge! I have to wait until I see what emerges between the two 'claws' before I can tell whether its going to be a spike or a growth. The only other indication is the position on the plant... if its coming from the third leaf down from the top, its more than likely to be a spike. Any lower than that and the odds are it will be a new growth.
Hope you've got blooms on the way!! |

Thaks Shannen, it's coming from where the third leaf down from the top emerges from the stem.....I guess time will tell.
WooHoo!!!!
