Sedirea japonica

[esungirl]

I just bought one myself, I'm really enjoying the little plant. But I got it right after it had finished blooming, can't wait to enjoy the blooms next year! Nice choice, and I like the mount.

Thanks, Shakkai!

Thanks, Erin...How's Paso? Hot?! I'm in Orcutt...

It's been hot, but the evenings are killer! My Husband was in Orcutt before we moved up here together, we still go down to Casmailla sp? To vists his folks alot. After living up here, I freeze my tail off down there!

It's a beautiful flower, are these scented??

They are scented. Some say its lemony. I think mine smelled like fruit loops.

What does Sedirea spell backwards?

That from which it came... Aerides.

Just ordered mine to come with the Project #4 plant! ! I can't wait to have this one here! Even though this one couldn't be the project plant, it looks like quite few of us were won over by it.

From what I have read, the theory is that the plant doesn't seem to get enough of a rest in cultivation. Hence its reported short lifespan - they just keep growing and eventually die of exhaustion.

I think it would be great to keep track of how everyone's does!

(Also looks like I'm doing some catching up on Sue and her TCs from previous projects... I ordered an Epi. pseudoepidendrum as well! I have -so far- resisted the Den. tetragonum....)

That's really interesting, Shakkai..I'll have to read more on that...I've only had mine for less than 2 months, and it's shooting out 3 new roots...

What I read when I was researching this was that in the night-time winter temperatures should drop into the 40s for at least 2 months, say Jan/Feb. Also, watering during this cold period should be reduced and fertilizing should be stopped until growth and more watering begins again in spring.

Hello!

I bought a Sedirea a few weeks ago. I saw this plant the first time in the internet by accident, when I was browsing through the internet. I fell in love immediately!!!
the flowers are so nice!!! But the one that i have bought is still small.
So it will take a bit of time untill it will get its own flowers.

Bye Agnes
