Hi Everyone!
This was originally posted in the beginners section but thought it might get more attention here.
My mom and I went to Carter and Holmes' open house last Saturday and I received an Odontobrassia Pisgah Recluse as a bonus plant. I know nothing about its cultural needs and I can't find anything online about how to keep this particular orchid healthy, happy and eventually blooming.
It's in a two inch pot. The plant has two full pseudobulbs, one developing pseudobulb, and one leafless pseudobulb with what looks like a new leaf emerging--it's large enough that the plant tips over if not in a larger supporting pot. Given that, though, there are no roots coming out of the bottom of that little pot. Does this orchid like to be root-bound? Should I transplant it now or wait? Help!!!
Does it require definite seasonal differences, or same all year 'round?
Anything else I need to know about it?
For those interested, I had a great time at the nursery! They have some drop-dead wonderful plants and if I didn't have space, money and skill limits I could've dropped a ton of coin there. The people were very helpful even though the place was fairly packed. I got to walk through six of their greenhouses.
In addition to the Pisgah Recluse, I got:
- Phal. Mistral's Sunrise Flame 'Mendenhall'
- Phal. Carolina Yellow Fantasy 'Golden Showers'
- Miltonia Berries n' Cream (I have high hopes for this one!)
- Dtps. Taiwan 'Red Cat'
And all at 20% off too!
Thanks in advance for your help with the Pisgah Recluse. I really want this one to do well, even though I hadn't intended to come home with it.
