Maxillaria tenuifolia (Project 11 - Summer 2010)

[RosieC]

One thing I've read is that when you have the strings of p-bulbs climbing up on top of each other, there is actually roots hidden under the brown sheath that goes up beside them, then can run all the way down inside this and I've seen evidence of this on my plant.

Maybe this will mean you plant does have some hidden roots which can save it.

Mine arrived last Monday. It's a little small but healthy. Did anyone else get a yellow?

yes, received and posted here on page 33

40.50 €!!!??? did you ask to add gold pellets in the pot? My plant was only 23.00€ !! plus 10.00€ shipping cost (shared with 50 L potting material and 25 plastic pots)... Yes, 23.00€ is a bit over the average for a plant in Europe (average around 20.00€), but I would not say it is expensive! However, 40.50€... WOW!!

[Jeff9]

Well the plant cost €23.00 for me, + €17,50 shipping = €40,50 in total.

I didn't order anything else besides the max either.

How big was your division Ramon? And how's your hernia?

my plant has 7 PBs and 6 new growths...

Thanks for asking, I am still having lots of problems. This week I have an appointment with the neurosurgeon, to decide whether a surgery is needed (after 5 weeks with problems and no significant improvement, my house doctor and I think it is indeed needed)

There is a problem here that you cant see Ill put it that way and I wait for reply from mr (unnamed orchid vendor) and see what they are going to do. I'm sure they will take care of this slight problem. I only have one of them. How many do they have?


A sad day that should have been a good day might still be hoped for tomorrow

Do you have a pic of the "roots" on the Max tenuifolia?

I can see if your plant has what it takes to bounce back.
