Project 2015 Spring [main]: Amesiella monticola

[LovePhals]

You did a great job potting her up, that looks good. I'm glad you were able to get the long roots in there. Hmm.. I didn't realize it likes humidity that high. I'm not too worried about that. My Vandas do fine in winter with my sub-par humidity of 30-50% so I think my new Amesiella will be ok too I hope. I usually get 50-70 in summer though. I just found a spot for her on my new orchid rack along with my new Masdevallia. These both like more medium light right?

Here is my project plant from Hausermanns! I have 2 fresh root tips that I can see on it. Has 6 leaves but 1 is yellowing so I guess 5. It looks healthy I am happy with my purchase.

I soaked the plant before to make the roots more supple. And the advantage of the net pot is that the 2 long ones can just stick out through the side of the pot! The humidity requirements I got from Orchidwiz, which says 90%. I've read that they can grow fine at lower humidity, but that buds are more likely to blast if it's lower. I'll post the info from Orchidwiz

I looked up the cultural requirements in Orchidwiz for myself, and thought that it would be nice to put together some screenshots from it and post it here as well. I hope it's readable!!
