Oh no!!! I'm so sorry! You know what, they came to you troubled, right?!!! Not you're daily, right?!!!

Well, I'm glad you still have the will and spirit to try, try and try again. That's awesome!

Sorry to hear that Jarad, I have also ended up killing 'project' plants too ... My Haraella Project plant died last year and my soph just died a couple weeks ago...
As far as my Trichoglottis brachiata (this project) It does not seem to like H/S or at least no visible root growth to be seen in the pot although growing air roots very well. Only other problem is I have a lot more light in my new house and think I burned the leaves as have some yellow appeared on some leaves. So I have now got it in a shadier position by sticking grease proof paper to the back of the terrarium.. will see what happens with the growth in the next few months.

Hi All,

My 2 plants have still not bloomed but they look very healthy. I'm wondering if I'm letting the mount get too dry. I'm thinking about re-potting them into clay with Orchiata mix this year. Our OS has started ordering pallets of Orchiata and everyone is having great results.

Anyone get theirs to bloom?

[shadytrake]

Yay, Yay! I finally have what looks like a spike. This was definitely NOT BS when I purchased it. It took 3 years to get to this point. I definitely think this is NOT a rapid grower.

Mine did not make it!

Mine was in less than optimum condition when I got it, has been growing pretty well with quite a few roots and a keikei. I don't know if this will be my lucky year or not. It may be fall auction fodder.
