Sophronitis cernua (Project 14 - Spring 2012)

[The Mutant]

So, here they are in all their over potted glory! I've run out of small pots and haven't ordered any new ones (which I should have, silly me) so to compensate for my errors, I packed the pots with packing peanuts. The Soph has a lot of roots, but they're all very short so I kind of just placed it on top of a bark and perlite mix. I hope this little guy will survive all I've put it through, and I also hope the Phal stuartiana will since I cut of most of its new leaf (the black spot it had, had a large yellow area around it).

Here they are:

Here are some pics of mine. It was mounted, so instead of taking it off the mount, I used someone else's idea and just plonked the mount into one of my very shallow pots and put some bark/perlite mix around it. I'm going to put some moss on the bark at some stage. It has two new growths.

nice bonsai pot!

Oh, found a lousy picture I took of one of the nasty looking spots earlier. This is what the spots looked like on all the leaves I removed. The picture is below my answer to Bob's post since I can't get the attachments to be where I want them to be.

I bought it from a German vendor and don't speak a word of German so calling is out of the picture. It's very sad looking, but the difference between this guy and the previous Phal. sturatiana I purchased from a Swedish vendor, is that this guy has ROOTS! Hopefully, I'll get it to survive and to grow because I'm GOING to have a Phal. stuartiana!
