Sedirea japonica - Orchid Board

This is the second spike of the summer. The first was in May with 3 flowers. Now my Sedirea has 6 flowers, and they smell beautiful. The smell reminds me of lemon cleaner, but in a good way.

That's a beauty. Cann't wait to see it in a few years.

Thanks for posting, it is a beautiful flower.

Hi Molly,
That is really something!

My little guy hasn't produced any blooms yet. How much light are you providing yours?

Thanks for your post!

) to my must have list!!!! Thanks for sharing

Hi,
Thats awesome. Two flowerings in such a short time period. I, as well, am waiting for my plant to flower. Any growing tips that you can offer (light, day/night temperatures, medium etc.) would be great.

Thanks, Paula

Thanks for checking out my orchid! I think it's pretty special. It faces west and gets full sun in the afternoon from about 3-6 pm. Temp is about 70-75 during the day, and 50 at night. The flowers from the last bloom lasted a month and a half. I was very pleased with that.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I agree with you that it is a special little plant.

I should also note that my Sedirea japonica is potted in a small terra cotta pot with charcoal and bark plus a bit of sphagnum moss on the top layer. I water every day or every other day. Humidity is about 70%-80%. Thanks again for your kind comments.
