Yeah!!! I got all the plants for my projects today. Laelia and Den from Andy's and Rhyn from Hauserman's. These are two GREAT places to order from. I've never gotten such super healthy plants in the mail as these. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

Well now I've ordered the Laelia anceps as well as a Brassavola "Mickey Mouse? and an Encyclia brassavolaea from Andys. I simply couldn't stop with only one orchid in an order. Now I await their arrival, along with the L anceps and Cattlyea intermedia I ordered from Oak Hill.
I hope I can keep them all alive

I think I over-loved my anceps division. I was misting it every day after the vendor said that it would probably need to stay moist the first couple weeks (or water more often, something like that....)
Noticed today that the roots are not as firm as they once were.
Could it be because these were originally aerial roots that are now buried in bark? (large bark, sponge rock, charcoal) You can see how far above the media the rhizome is in my picture on the previous page. :/

Just wanted to share the pic of L. anceps I picked up yesterday. Anyone have one that is mounted?? I'd love to see a pic. I've read that anceps likes to grow mounted. The grow I bought from agreed but added that the average person would not purchase a mounted plant, so he pots.

Izzie,
I'd have thought that it would be the reverse. A bit drier than normal to let the roots adjust to repot shock. I've read that the roots may not be able to deal with moisture as well usual immediately after repotting, therefore keep the roots drier? Theory and practice often differ however, anyone else??

That's what I thought Stephen!
I did a quick soak in some coconut water yesterday, and am letting it dry out more this week to see what happens.

Yours is so much more compact than mine! I guess since mine came off of a monster plant....
very sweet.

Oh, also, anceps has a reputation of being very hardy to temperature range and conditions. I doubt you have done any significant damage.
