I truly believed that it was a miniature, I am impresse of how big it is, so I guess that @DirtyCoconut and @3rdMaestro have 🌱 young ones..

@Camille wherever I order it'll cost me the same . I think I like the Germans vendors better, but they didn't have it. I looked around and only this one had it.

In regard to the plant, now with a bit more time:
The leafs have some waves and are very thing...I'll keep it in quarantine because I saw some ants or bugs, don't know exactly what it was.

In Germany, at least Popow and Asendorfer have it. You might have missed them since they are mislabelled as Phal deliciosum and Phal decumbens....

Is there any way you could reduce the size of your photos? On both my phone and desktop they are so enormous I can't see them without scrolling up and down, and sideways. I can't make them fit into just one screen. They take up a large amount of data, and download very slowly. My phone essentially freezes while these huge photos are downloading.

If you post photos the normal way to Orchid Board this doesn't happen. Others have explained here in the past how to insert external photo links with reasonable sizes.

SADE2020 I will have to wait a while before my plant gets as large as yours; what a great buy!

I'm not sure how to scale down embedded photos from imgur, so I might just upload them as thumbnails.

Normally on those websites you can choose to resize/downsize the embedded images.
I have no problems with how the photos load but I can imagine that some people have slower internet connections.

Oh, they come out perfect for me, in fact I took this application from a recommendation from another member of the forum. I will look for another alternative. Uploading photos in the native application of the forum is not particularly good for me, I waste a lot of time.

Thanks for advising

Hello Group!
I have repot in bark and spag the Deliciosa, it had a madness of roots. I'm sure I will lose two leaves that are in bad condition.

Looks good! Your plant is enormous, haha. Good luck!

Decided to join the party. Here's mine...



Just arrived yesterday afternoon. Haven't decided yet whether to mount or put in SH. It's a good time if I choose SH, as two new stubby roots coming out... will be interesting to see what it looks like down in that sphag...I don't like look of the roots growing down into the sphag, but could be wrong. Biggest leaf, about 6" long, has a couple of dry spots on it (will show later when I unpot). Looks like leaf burn from a couple drops of water on it plus sun.

Never grown a phal before with the thinner, undulated leaves. Quite interesting.

Oh man... Everyone's plants seem bigger than mine. I hope I didn't get a seedling haha!
