Trichoglottis brachiata (Project 13 - Summer 2011)

[nenella]

Since posting my new leaf growing, that one has matured and grown an other leaf now. Do you think It would be a good idea to try and give it more light? ie: move it to the front of terrarium in front the window? Actually I have just moved it so, will have to see what happens ?
I'm in 'more light' mode at the moment this pm that's 2 'chids moved...

[Bud]

yes gradual direct sun in the warmer months ...your plant will love that

[nenella]

Thanks! Will see what happens ... if it blooms or not?

Mine's still growing on the mount. I'm hoping for blooms this year!

I'm not sure what page it was on in this thread, but I had posted some information in regards to the length between the leaves (or was it the size of the leaves) in relation to light needs. You might want to check that out and measure your new leaves (or the distance between) to see what you come up with in regards to needing more light. Ultimately though, go with your gut instinct. While the information came from a reputable source, I have found that nothing beats a pair of watchful eyes and gut instinct.

Hi everyone!
I got a trichoglottis brachiata last month at a show. I was wondering if any of you had advices for me.

[shadytrake]

I checked mine today and it is nice and green and doing nothing. I'm wondering if the roots don't like the mount. They don't seem to be attaching. That has happened to me before. Sometimes you have to find the right wood.

Mine is growing new leaves. Roots still look rather poor.

[Paul Mc]

My roots don't seem a To attach to the tree fern. What is yours on?

Several new roots here, one good and thick, but the rest are struggling.

I moved my plant to the front of the terrarium by about 20cms; towards the window (@50cms from a net curtained lined window) roughly a month and a half ago; therefore increasing the light...(thanks Bud)

It Has 2 new growths/nubbins as Dorothy named them! & Seeing they do not seem to be growing out of the same level of my other roots on the plant..I am hoping these are going to be blooms? What do you guys think??? - Even if it turns out to be roots..

I shan't be dissappointed! as growing nicely and I have learn't that with 'chids especially growing indoors without mechanical adjustments.... well it's a real observation and patience game...
