Roberta and SP, thanks for the input!

I apparently overthought things while I was repotting or I was just trying to get it out and back in with minimal damage! I'll let it ride and see what happens.

Forgot to mention, the already established spike is starting to form a bud, so that's pretty exciting as well!

True Roberta ...... but some orchids - like oncidiums - tend to grow out in all directions. Clustering or clumping types.

In this link here - when the new growth is included, the pattern is tending toward a diamond sort of formation. So for this case here - the movement doesn't appear to be along a line.

With only 2 old growths, that plant is likely to on grow in one direction, so I’ll vote with Roberta on this one. Given time and good culture, then it’ll start to spread.

Hello friends,

I am planning on purchasing a hildos off of Hausermann today. Stated to be about 2 years from blooming in the description.

I see some of you also purchased from this nursery. What was the experience, did it already come potted? Did it need to be repotted immediately? Trying to form a game plan.

Note: I am in NYC, indoor humidity around 40-50% (without a humidifer), small terrarium (~75-80F; 75-85% hum.) with some room, living room with southeastern (leaning more east) windows where I grow my other orchids.

Hausermann is a great vendor. i don't know the plant you are talking about so i cannot comment on culture but i will say that the order i got was in incredible shape and while i did repot most of the plants several i have still not repotted as they cam perfect for their current situation

Sorry, I should have been more specific with the psychopsis variety, it has to do with the psychopsis medenhall hildos. I states it comes in a 2.5 inch pot, just wanted to learn what other experiences have been. Did you repot your psychopsis from them?

This would also be my first hausermann order.

Yep. But 'which direction' is the main question here. In order to establish information about direction, or which front(s) the oncidium type plant is going to move along, you have to know roughly which direction (or directions) it's going to grow to start with. So for a plant like that, I myself would put this particular one somewhere in the middle to begin with. Or just off to one-side a little bit - as the new growth is going to form a big bulb.

Perhaps you haven't yet seen a plant go in a direction that you hadn't planned upon. I have seen it often. Since active eyes can be on either side of the rhizome and can even activate on an older pseudobulb, there can be surprises. I have also seen plants go one way, I mount them accordingly, then they go the other way. So best to just observe. Make adjustments the next time it needs repotting, in a few years, based on what it actually does. Patience.

True Roberta. Totally agree with you about the possible surprises! Know just what you mean!

Nzadro, you're asking about the psychopsis Mendenhall 'hildos' from Hausermann, right? I ordered two of the ones you plan to order. They arrived mid-May in perfect shape. They are potted and I do not feel the need to repot them this year.

Hausermann is excellent. I've bought from them for years. During this covid 19 time, their orders understandably have been taking 2-3 weeks to fulfill. Maybe that's improved as we're reopening. Their website had a statement about delays when I ordered.

I live in central/upstate NY state within growing conditions somewhat similar to yours. I grow my psychopsis in my house in a room with a northeast exposure. My humidity is like yours, 40-50% with humidifiers. I also, like you, have a terrarium. Mine stays at 70-75 degrees with 70-80% humidity. I did not put my 2 new little psychopses in my terrarium. I didn't feel like they needed it. I already have a psychopsis that I grew to maturity in my regular growing conditions. It's thrived. Also, within a couple of years these will get too big for a small terrarium.
