And your Neos all look great! Who was the seller?

Andy's Orchids are always totally wonderful.

I have the Angraecum didieri. Mine hasn't bloomed yet but I just moved it to brighter light. It really seems to like it. . .now, if it will just bloom!

And I've got the Haraella odorata, which is a must have orchid! It's almost always in bloom! Such cute, buggy flowers!

Oh, I know you just had the most wonderful day!
The Neo's and Sedirea's are from Satomi of Seed Engei. Keeping them alive right now is my main concern, getting them to bloom will come next.

Andy's had those Haraella's that are also in bloom, but the I picked the one that has more growth and is still in spike.
I'm happy, but my wallet is crying.

Did Satomi have any of those books she sells on Ebay? Wondering if anyone has one and can report on it?

I would have chosen the one with more growth too! The Haraella blooms easily!

Yeah. . .know what you mean. . .do you like Raman soup? ROFLOLOL I love it!

As you may know, I have described my adventure with guy (this is intended not as a hijack, but for all that are reading this thread). I am very firm in my conviction that light is only one of two important factors to bloom didieri: Light and humidity. I was able to grow this guy to great proportions over two years at lower humidity but high light. After moving to 90+ humidity it is now starting to finish the 5th bloom and has the 6th bloom right behind it! At the same time it has filled the pot with roots and has, maybe, 1/3 of the roots outside the pot. At this point medium no longer has a purpose

Hi Ross, I think lighting is not a problem for me eventhhough I grow inside, my room has a glass door plus the window and I just keep the blinds open so my chids can get the light that they need. I live in Southern California a few miles from the ocean. Right now Temp. is about 70 degrees and humidity is around 61%. Highest humidity this morning at 6AM was 91%. My question, how can I give my Angraecum didieri that humidity it needs if I have it mounted? I have my other chids on humidity trays.

Thanks,

Thanks,
That's the issue. I was providing mine in the 60% range in summer and less in winter. Until I went to 90% range in the tank, it never bloomed. I think the answer is higher humidity. How? I think that is up to you, since I don't know your specific situation. For me, it was the orchidarium. I tried lots of potting regimens, to no affect. Until I went to high humidity, it had refused to bloom. Now constant.

I love angraecum. I have a couple but I'm not sure I will be able to get them to rebloom. A didieri is next on my wanted lilst.

Ross, I NEED an orchidarium. I need one to fit into a space about 30" long and no more than 21" - 22" deep, the height is optional. I think it's time to start a search before the heat comes on in my home and dries the air out even more. Possibly I'm looking for the imposible. It will sit in an entry hall and I don't want to greet my guests with an ulgy contraption being the first thing they see. Any suggestion where to look? I don't want a huge shipping charge added to the cost.

So many of the Angraecoids need more humidity than I can give them now and I have fallen in love with them. Ross, You have been one of the biggest tempters.

Marilyn
