Chiloschista parishii

[s.kallima]

Let me introduce my new mini :
Chiloschista parishii.

A little nub is growing from the center, maybe a spike ???

Not quite leafless, but almost... Cool! If that does turn out to be a spike post some pics for us. I love that name; Chiloschista... Something about it sounds cool. Oops, there I go talking to myself again!

WOW those roots are awesome!!! Looks like it probably is a spike! for you! keep us posted!

I will post pics... this species has only a few leaves, and is loosing them when blooming
BTW Chiloschista is supposed to come from the greek : Cheilos (lip) and schistos (cleft).

Hi S. kallima,
Do you feed them and how often you water them?

This is mine

[s.kallima]

Snip10 : I spray it every morning with clear water (I have it at 60% humidity but not in a tank, so it dries up quickly), and once a week soak it 30 minutes in a 125 ppm fertilizer solution.
I only have it since december, so I keep an eye on it to see if I have to adjust the growing conditions.

As of today, the little nub is growing, slowly...

Hi S. kallima, thanks for sharing your experience. I have killed 4 of them I hope the two new ones I just bought will survive

That orchid is so cool looking!! Looks like an octopus clinging to it's piece of bark. I hope that the nubbin turns out to be spike, it would be so cool to see.

My first thought was... a spider! I would be terrified to have it at my place... brrr! I hope it will bloom soon- it wouldn't look so terrifying!
