Saving a Sharry Baby
Hi all,
I have a Sharry Baby (the OG type) which was one of my first orchids-so has been through a lot of learning (poor thing!). I managed to kill almost the entire plant except saved one of the leaflets back bulbs as a last ditch attempt to revive it, so popped it in some leca with moss top-self watering setup. It has made a new pseudobulb (tiny- about 1cm in size but plump) with a long leaf. It has taken about 6months to do this, under grow lights with temps about 18-25°c.
My question is- what are the chances this plant has enough energy to actually fully recouperate into a mature plant that will flower? If anyone else has saved one this far gone, would love to hear about it- especially how long it took!
For me, it's not the cost of a new plant, but rather feeling invested in this one as I have learned a lot from it!
Thanks!
